Why does my dog have bloating?
If your dog suffers from bloating, then his most obvious feature is that he will often fart. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for a dog to fart occasionally. Flatulence occurs when gas accumulates in your dog's intestines and colon. This chronic flatulence is usually caused by the dog eating soy, dairy products, peas and other foods. This article will introduce you the reasons why dogs often suffer from bloating.
1. Lactose intolerance
Like some specific people, adult dogs suffer from lactose intolerance. When you give your dogs too much dairy products, it will be difficult for them to digest these foods, resulting in gastric bloating.
2. Eating too fast
If your dog eats very fast, he will often fart. Studies have shown that using slow food bowls for dogs can indeed effectively reduce the speed at which dogs eat, thereby reducing the occurrence of bloating.
3. Changing food too frequently
If you change your dog's food frequently recently, the dog's gastrointestinal tract has not adapted to the new food, which will easily cause the dog to fart. You'd better mix the new food with the old food and give it to the dog, and then gradually increase the proportion of the new food.
4. Sufficient exercise
Please make sure your dog has enough physical exercise every day. Only enough exercise every day can ensure the normal work of the dog's digestive system.
