Oldgun Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Wonder if anyone has had the same problem,i an feeding my 17month old black Lab Harringtons turkey and rice and he loves it,but he suffers from wind,not pleasant when having a glass of wine in the evening.We tried Lovejoys early on but decided that it was to rich so giving the new recipe Wag a try gradually including it in his food,it's supposed to be wheat free if that makes any difference. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated ATB Oldgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 My personal opinion is I would never feed a dog a food as low quality as wag as its main food. I would ban it from sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated ATB Oldgun I wouldn't concern myself too much on the brand of food but after having some food issues with my now 2yr old lab when she was younger I've taken her away from poultry based food. According to my vet they have seen an upsurge in dogs being sensitive to poultry based foods. He recommended that I go for something with either a beef, lamb or fish based content....with lamb or fish being best in their opinion. Also make sure the dog isn't getting more protein than it needs. If you have ever been around fitness people gorging on protein powders you will know why, their farting just isn't ordinary. The food I've settled on for my lab is Dr Jaynes. Either the grass fed beef or the free run lamb flavour. It's what works for my dogs without running the guts out of them but everyone will have their own opinions on foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckandswing Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 All mine are on wheat/grain free kibble and the original butchers tripe. If you lit a match the room would go up a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't touch a food like that and wouldn't consider it a suitable feed. It is basically cereals with 4% animal derivatives, part of which is likely undigestable junk.

Now she can give them a big feed and they don’t gain lots of weight. I’ve got a higher cal CSJ food I mix in come the season when they’re working lots and need more energy.

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated ATB Oldgun My new GSD had this problem. It wasn't the diet causing the wind, but the fact she eats her food so fast. I got her an anti gulping bowl to slow her down and the flatulance problem cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered a bag of the Tripe as it doesn't contaim chicken fat and chicken fat plays havoc with my boy's Springer - causes him to pebble dash a large area 😱. Cheaper than Burns lamb and rice as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 My Springer (9) has had runny stools since a pup and ,you name it, we tried it. When trying Forthglade ,however, the exact oposite happened and constipatin set in within 2 days. Finally found the solution by using 1/2 Forthglade and half whichever quality food is on offer when ordering, works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenandolaf Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 My dogs were the same - changed to the CSJ tripe/fit fast which I just mix together and they all have slow feeding bowls. Problem solved now! Also give them pure flax which seems to be working well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
