The doghouse

Nose licking and flatulence all/every evening

So we have 6 year old JRT in good health - she spends all evening licking her nose repeatedly. She also has terrible flatulence. These are not new issues and commence about 2 hours after she has her dinner. Do you think this could be digestive discomfort (causing stress and therefore nose licking)? We wonder if she might be intolerant to a food ingredient. She has Lidls dried food (sometimes with a spoonful of meat or fish scraps leftover from our dinner) - can anyone recommend a good quality easily digested alternative we could try....I am really not sure what ingredients are good and what we should avoid.

I’m only here because I didn’t see it was in the dog house section and wondered what kind of husband you had

Chappie dry was recommended to us for our last dog she had digestive issues make sure the scraps have no sauces or onions that can give iffy stomachs,

Chappie has been recommended to a few friends with dog digestive issues.

Buy good quality grain free dog food from somewhere like Zooplus.
We looked after a friend's dog whilst she was in hospital and recovering and she'd been fed cheap crappy dog food so we swapped her to the same stuff we feed our dog.
