Why does my puppy have so much gas? Is it normal or food related?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 9 months and 1 day old | 33 lbs

Hashbrown has some horrendous gas & I was wondering if that’s normal since she’s still a puppy, or if maybe I should consider changing her food?

I love her name! Horrendous gas isn't usually normal, although dogs can have some really stinky farts sometimes. Have her checked out by a vet before changing her food, there may be a medical reason behind these farts. I hope this helps.
