Farting dog. Best food?

[PollyAmourous]

My little patterdale is blighted this week by farts. He has Tails biscuits which he eats as last resort when wet food not available. We usually get butchers grain free but I think the recipe must’ve changed as he has wind and keeps eating leaves. My dog sitter said she had dogs on Butchers with sudden loose poo so thinks they changed it also.
I had butternut before but simply can’t afford it now. I’m not sure tails is much more than a lucky dip of mixed biscuits either.
has anyone got a tasty yet low ish cost food recommendation? He loved the sample of wolfeorthy but wouldn’t eat the big bag ?! Maybe they made the samples taste better ? He also rejected pure dog food that you mix with water so I gave that away. All recommendations where I can try a smaller bag first very welcome ! Oh and the raw stuff ? Rejected out of hand. Would not even touch it. Call himself a terrier ? Nope. Likes a nice pouch of wet food but will eat dry if he likes it ! I adore him and just want to breathe in less sulphurous air without bankruptcy. Thank you 🙏

Harrington chicken and rice. You can buy smaller bags in most every supermarket. Worked for us.

Anything that has lamb as a protein source rather than poultry is a good option for getting rid of smelly wind.

Get him checked by a vet, the first sign of pancreatitis in our dog was awful sulfuric wind, she had to go on a low fat diet which was supplemented/replaced with boiled chicken breasts, overcooked rice and butternut squash if we suspected she was heading for a flare up. Thankfully diet managed it for years without many flares but its a painful dangerous condition if not spotted and treated.

@Mudflapsinteresting. And also worrying of course . He shows no signs of being poorly and is his usual barking self in addition to the farts but maybe a trip is in order. I can do different food in the meantime too.

@Mudflaps trip to the vets I mean. He’s currently barking at the neighbour’s dog so we will have a wander out and I’ll make him an appointment tomorrow. I am defrosting chicken for a curry. Maybe he’ll end up eating it instead …

Another sign is yellowish poo and pain/discomfort in the abdomen but dogs can tend to hide their pain, dogs with good observent owners do better overall because they quickly notice when the dog is unwell and early treatment is best for everything. You see like a good owner and would have noticed if the dog was unwell but its still best to get them checked.

My current Labrador was the first windy dog I've owned, plus he had frequent soft poo. I swapped him to salmon-based food,on the advice of an equine(!) nutritionist and he's now fine. Some dogs are sensitive to chicken. He's on Skinners salmon and rice and spaniel is on their chicken- based maintenance food.
