Hello. First, make sure Hercules is not receiving any treats or unapproved table scrapes, only his dog food. It sounds like he may be developing some gas pains after eating & unless you go to a specific hypoallergenic diet, or a diet with a hydrolyzed protein, you might just try adding a probiotic to his feed daily. There are a couple made specifically for dogs, like FortiFlora & Proviable, but you can start with Culturelle, a human probiotic that is wildly available. Give this a week or two & see if it helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
