Is your dog acting sick or nauseated in any way? Like refusing to eat, drooling excessively or trying to eat grass? If not, then I would not be too concerned. It is normal for the gut to make sounds while digesting the food. If however your dog is acting ill then you may want to post another question with specifics so we can further help you out.
