My dogs have awful gas daily, but are healthy. How to control it?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 43 lbs

All of my dogs have the worst gas in the world . Ever since they were puppies it’s every single day and night blowing up my room and house with the most nasty farts . Their poops are normal always . Vet knows about it and says they’re perfectly healthy and laughs at me lol. Is there a way I can control it or something

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The most common reason for excessive gas is the diet. I would change the protein (meat protein) in the food. Fish based diets are notorious to cause gas. I bet playing around with the food will prove successful. Good luck!
