My dogs are gassy with normal poop. How to stop their burps and farts?

Question

Both of my dogs (a 3.5 year old blue heeler and a 4ish year old German Shepard mix) have been gassy the last couple months. We haven't canged anything, they get the same food and amount (Diamond Natural) and frequent the same yard that we've had since Oct. But recently they have had the nastiest burps and farts. It's been so bad that we have to send them outside. Yet all of their poop looks normal, not runny or funny colored. Is there anything I can do to help their tummies? Pet's info: Dog | Blue Heeler | Female | spayed | 3 years and 6 months old | 45 lbs

The most common reasons are bacterial imbalance issues, a poor response to the fiber in the diet or parasites. You may try switching the food. I recommend Royal Canin because it has a great fiber blend. You can start them on a probiotic - Purina FortiFlora is a great one. If there is not improvement after 2 weeks, have them checked for parasites. I hope this helps.
