Certain breeds, most notably the flat-faced ones, have earned a reputation for gassiness, in part because they tend to swallow air when gulping down their food. If your dog farts a lot, you can try different diets, feed less fiber or sulfur-rich foods, give anti-stench supplements, or feed him from a bowl that discourages gulping. Or just buy a gas mask.
INSIGHTS: Learning should be fun. Diet company representatives, retail associates and veterinary hospital teams will appreciate the levity and science. It is likely that animal health pros are routinely asked about managing canine emissions.
