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 :-)

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Penny. I'm wondering if you have been giving her different flavors of treats, or new treats. This change could cause the gas. Stop giving her treats for the next week, and see if that helps the gas. If it doesn't, it may be her food. Many vets see GI problems with dogs on grain free foods. You may consider switching foods to one with grains. Please know that vets are seeing a rise in heart disease in dogs who are fed grain free diets, and many dogs have died from the heart disease suddenly. The FDA is now investigating this link. I hope this helps.
