My small dog has gas from turkey food. What food do you recommend?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

I feed my dog wellness small breed turkey flavor and it seems to upset her stomach as it makes a lot of noise and she Farts a lot too. You think it's the turkey? Because I give her the chicken and brown rice now same brand and it doesn't seem to affect her in any bad way ? What food do you recommend besides wellness for small breed?

Yes flatulence may be dietary related. Chicken and rice is the most digestible diet. I would recommend to have a look at this link to have good general advices about food http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/getting-a-dog-or-puppy/general-advice-about-caring-for-your-new-puppy-or-dog/feeding-your-puppy-or-dog/

    If Luna doesn't have gas on the chicken and brown rice, it could be the turkey causing it. I would try giving her the chicken and brown rice formula only to see if that helps. For small breed dogs, I personally like Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams :-)
