  • … puppy farts!:eek::eek::eek:


  • hahahahahaha, the opposite of 'puppy breath'!


  • oh, yeah…..I guess we should have mentioned that....


  • hahhaa, I have not experienced basenji puppy farts but my great dane used to make us run out of the house!!!!!!!


  • soo stinky! and suki's are loud. and every time, she is so shocked that she jumps up and looks at her butt in disbelief! cracks me up every time.


  • there is a movie, A Very Long Engagement, that has a line "Doggy farts gladens the heart". I have no idea why - either the why of the line or sentiment. But the movie is very, very good. Lots of twists and turns, but it has an overall sweetness that never goes over the top. I've actually seen it twice, which is a rarity for me.

  • Trog is 5 and still has bad farts, none of my others do

  • First Basenji's

    Mojo has the puppy farts too. Every time he chases his butt- runs in circles trying to figure out what just happened! It's the funniest thing…..

  • First Basenji's

    Oh man, Cody is 5 too, and his farts wake me up in the middle of the night. When he was on Taste of the Wild Wetlands formula, his were the worst, and loud! He would startle a bit and then look at his butt like he was trying to figure out what happened.


  • @crystalncody:

    When he was on Taste of the Wild Wetlands formula, his were the worst, and loud!

    Kipawa is on Taste of the Wild Bison with a bit of Taste of the Wild Salmon mixed in. His farts are the 'SBD' type - silent but deadly. Most of the time they happen when he is napping. But if they happen when he is awake, he does not acknowledge them at all. Sneaky little character! :)

    Hahaha…

    Here's a confession: "Bowpi" is a homophone in Mandarin Chinese for "Precious Toot," as in fart. That's what my boyfriend originally wanted to name her, because he thinks dog farts are amusing and humorous (the number of comments that have been generated here would support his claim). I was kind of horrified, especially since the character for "fart" in Chinese is the same as "butt" and has the corpse radical... but he started calling her that so much that she began to respond to it, so I found another character that's pronounced the same way but means "companion" instead -- and a much more elegant character!

    Yes, dog farts are amusing just as fart jokes are universally appreciated. Heh heh heh.


  • I drop one of these little probiotic pearls in Buddy's food 1x per day. He rarely ever has gas.



  • A teaspoon of yogurt can sometimes help with gas.

    Added: Oops I just saw the post above mine. Great minds…...:)


  • I truly believe in fastrack… helps gut health, stops gas. :)

  • O Lord!!! If you didn't start this thread then I would have…. I have never smelt such smells :eek:


  • @Chealsie508:

    O Lord!!! If you didn't start this thread then I would have…. I have never smelt such smells :eek:

    Really something, eh Chealsie? :) Kipawa does his while he is sleeping beside me on the couch. I wind up saying to my husband "oh my God, what a smell"! Darrel answers that he can't smell anything. Then I think to myself "yeah, give it a few seconds". Then Darrel groans loudly and expresses that our living room smells like a human waste disposal treatment plant.

    Dan, those look interesting. I'll consider them if things get too unbearable. Right now, the farts are a source of entertainment (yea, I know, what boring lives we must lead).


  • sure is! I read this the first day I got Oakley and he hadn't done it yet and I was thinking to myself…"it can't be that bad!".....but o boy, yes it can! Kipawa, Oakley too is on a mix of the Taste of the Wilf Bison with the Salmon mixed in and he has the "SBD" type too, and when he is napping...which is conveniently on my lap. It is beyond words!


  • LOL CAUTION DO NOT LIFT UP THE COVERS. Einstein slept with us….surprise....oh man, he would stink himself out. We knew it was him when he'd crawl out from under the covers, sniff, shake, and lay back down on top of the covers. 'LiL Stinker doesn't even begin to describe him and his stinky hiney. :)

  • LOL ewww, sorry kids but if mine were gassy they wouldn't be in my bed. I'd be fast tracking fast. Every since Dustin Hoffman was on a talk show and said his wife makes him get out of bed to fart because she said it was simply aerated feces, I can't get it out of my head.


  • So far if Shaye farts, we don't seem to notice, so it can't be often, or very bad, or else she's elsewhere. Gemma on the other hand, gets all quiet, slinks out of the room, and pretty soon everyone in the room wants to run, it's sooooooooo bad! When it happens in the car, we have been known to pull off the road and exit the vehicle!

    It is well known that made in USA pretty meaningless. Always look for SOURCE. These days, if it doesn't SAY USA source meat, you can pretty much BET it is not. While most use some vitamins and stuff from other countries, if at least the meat is from a safe source, I'm pretty good with it. Of course, when it is JUST CHICKEN and sourced here… fine. :) short list of USA source: http://www.usalovelist.com/natural-pet-food-and-treats-made-in-usa/ Wow, just realize truthaboutpetfood…/the-2015-list/ now CHARGES a lot for their list. Um, no. This is pretty good http://dogaware.com/diet/dryfood.html Colorado Natural only sources usa I am pretty sure. And I love Salmonears. http://www.salmonears.com/dogs.html They are my go too healthy treats. Have known the owner for about 20 years, he taught me more about training, health, nutrition and raw than anyone in my life. No I don't get a discount if you try them, but you can say Deb sent you so he knows. For crunchy and good omega, they are my dogs favorites :) LOL bears like them too: https://youtu.be/CH6mKLs9xm0

    I found this formula in a "household tips" book by a guy named Haley. 1 gallon water 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup Tabasco sauce mix and spray affected area - i.e. the top of the fence I had a Sheltie next door that used my side yard for a bathroom constantly. Bad enough to have to pick up after my own dog before grass-cutting let alone the neighbor's too. A different neighbor told me that the Sheltie had been trained to do that B4 I bought the house. Anyway, it worked great!! I just used a regular watering can to put it down rather than buy a sprayer. It didn't effect the grass at all and, according to the book, should work on a multitude of "lawn loiterers". 666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 Sorry, Arleigh just decided he'd put in his "2 cents" but I guess he's adjusting for inflation!! Should've hit "submit" B4 I put the keyboard down, it's a cordless and we're sitting on the couch together!!:D

    Sometimes Kids come to "strange" ideas about what to do with a pet. Therefore it always should be obligatory for the partents or other adults to have a close eye on what is going on there…. Marbles in dog ears are also no fun to have... In Germany there is a huge political discussion against so called "dangerous breeds" because a few accidents with such breeds have been pushed through the press and tv. There are hard laws on who is allowed to keep these dogs and who is not. There are partially very high taxes you have to pay in several areas when you have a pit or amstaff or kangal or whatever they think is a "dangerous breed". But there are countries which play it even harder: for example a while ago you where not able to travel from Germany to Holland with a Staff-Mix. They would have taken the dog from you and maybe put it down without you being able to do something against it. But as far as I know, this law has been cancelled....hopefully... Regards, Esther
