Oh the humanity! It just won’t stop! It’s been going on for hours now. She’s dead asleep and they just keep on coming. In the time it took me to to type this much, it’s happened three times. It’s horrible, just horrible.

That is all, I had to share our personal hell with someone. It’s so bad.

The question becomes what did you feed her or what did she get into?

I feel your pain.

Some old friends had Boxers (one at a time) and I don’t know what they fed them but they farted all the time and they royally stank. They thought it was fully and the husband thought it would be funny to see who could do the loudest and smelliest.

Ye’, I don’t see those people any more.

Our little jack russel does deadly farts if he gets stressed. The problem is he’s a rescue and everything makes him stressed. Visitors, the hoover, new furniture, the sound a carrier bag makes.... etc.

He’s still a good dog though.

My buddy Lloyd used to wake me from a dead sleep with his emissions on his old food. It was so bad. I can’t describe it.

It’s a food issue. Or she’s pregnant.

I have a six-year old boxer who used to fart terribly (during long car trips we used to call it “silent death”). When he was diagnosed with a persistent gastritis we started giving him hypo-allergenic, single-source protein food (not inexpensive, but vet’s orders). Also he is fed an exact amount of food six times a day, instead of twice.

He doesn’t have so many gastritis episodes as before and his farts have mostly disappeared... except when he’s had one of those.

In his case, most certainly food-related.

Cute dog, by the way - congratulations.

So the little shaggy dork on the left is Chewie, and Baron Von Undabite over there on the right is named Mookie. Chewie occasionally farts when he’s sleeping, and it isn’t pleasant but it dissipates quickly.

But when Mookie farts, it’s an event. Good lord, the first time it happened (we’ve had him two months) I thought it was the smell of the world ending. And it has hang time! For a little guy, Mookie has the worst dog farts I’ve ever been around.

Short faced dogs tend to gulp a lot of air, resulting in more farts. I knew a Boston terrier with that issue. He’d sometimes fart when you picked him up.

I have a Boston, but luckily a grain-free diet seems to keep the fart situation under control (not so much when she’s eating other food).

Frankie, the 85lb monster on the left, used to fart a lot, and it would clear the room. I started buying some probiotics for him, and a scoop of powder in every meal helped a lot!

Thanks for all the sympathy. To try to address the main points... she is a boxer/pit mix, boxer farts are nortorious for being disgusting, which her’s usually are. These weren’t as bad, but were still bad.

Her main diet isn’t the issue. But she did eat a lot of veggies last night. Yes, she eats veggies. Brussel sprouts, spy beans, cauliflower, egg plant, kale... last night, she ate a bunch of veggie leftovers.

She’s a rescue dog with a questionable past (she cowers when pick up a belt to put it on), so having her sleep somewhere else isn’t happening.

And I did take her out to poop. The fartfest was both pre and post poop.

That is all. Things seem fine this morning.

That’s a nightly occurrence in our house. It’s one of the reasons the big dog is banned from the bedrooms at night. The little doesn’t fart as much. He’s banned because he snores louder than I do.

One of our cats snores louder than almost anything or anyone I’ve ever heard. And he has to sleep on a pillow near our heads. I can think of only one person who snores louder than this cat, but he is an exceptionally loud snorer.
