BPTactical was the most helpful so far- I'd agree- avoid any food with "vegetables" in it... especially in first few ingredients
if nothing else helps, you may try a "raw meat" diet... after all, it's what they would eat in the wild... my mother-in-law feeds this- pork neck bones, chicken, etc... her dogs won't even eat dog food anymore.
a cleanse with some yogurt may help, too- the beneficial bacterial help them to digest food before it 'ferments' in their gut...
we have 7 dogs, ranging from 40Lbs to 180Lbs... so we're familiar with the smell you're referring to. [Gas1][Gas2]
Feed him/her consistanlty decent dog food. Do not get the Wally World brand or the stink will continue.
Sounds like she/he is adjust ing to their new home and this coul dbe a cause of the stress. Just keep it on a steady diet of decent food.
it's not just the price of the dog food- my wife bought some "boutique" high-priced dog food, and I was online ready to order a gas mask!!!Quote:

same thing happened with my dog. During a snow storm, about died. Literally gave me headaches. Try cutting out any wet food and make sure she's not finding something odd to eat. If it persists there are formula's you can feed her look at an online vet website.
She is a good lookin' dog.Quote:

The Orijen that we feed is 80% meat protein to 20% vegetable, which is a good ratio depending how active (Not!) your dog is.
One thing about the quality grain free foods and don't let it spook you-it does cost more. Mama just got home and she said a 30# bag of Taste of the Wild (TOW) is $49.99 and it is one of the less expensive all natural grain free foods. While it is more expensive than say Old Roy from Wally World you do not have to feed nearly as often as the dog digests and actually uses the food much more efficiently.
As a result you feed much less.
Example-We have a Shar-Pei/Bull Mastiff mix that tips the scales at 100# and he only eats 3.5 cups of food and a tasty treat per day. He is happy and healthy with great teeth and coat. Now if we were feeding him a grain/corn rich diet such a Purina or such he would eat us out of house and home. The dog's nutritional needs are never met and they feel that they need to keep eating. That is also why they tend to "Woof Down" their food so fast. We feed him and our Sheltie Orijen foods and they dont woof it down, rather they just nibble at what they want.
As they are using what they eat much better there is much less waste as well so we dont have to poop scoop nearly as much.
Here is the website for her store:

They are very in tune to the nutritional needs for your pets (cat or dog) and definitley take the all natural approach to things. They are also great at helping keep the animal out of the vets office with some of the suppliments etc that they have.
New diet, Blue Buffalo, Wilderness etc, NO gluten, grain. Dogs aren't veggie heads so they don't need grain. A humidifier needs to be used, good for the short nose dogs and good for you a + for all.
Beautiful dog. So happy for you guys.
Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
thanks its just a temp housing deal until we find a perm home for her,
Let me know when she needs a home. I love bulldogs, grew up with one. My folks are on there second and my sister has one also.
