We feel like we should start this article by managing expectations, your pet will never stop farting. It is a natural part of life, and, unfortunately, we’re stuck with it! That being said, while a little gas is normal in our pets, there is such a thing as too much gas. Sometimes, symptoms such as diarrhea, foul odors, gurgling noises in the belly, can be a sign of a more serious health problem that could require a trip to the vet. Here will explain what may be causing your pet’s gas and how and what you can do to help your pet stop farting.
It is a natural part of life, and, unfortunately, we’re stuck with it!
Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers, and Boston Terriers are all brachycephalic dog breeds (a shortened snout) which causes them to swallow lots of air when they breathe or eat, causing them to be more susceptible to gas. While passing gas may happen more frequently with brachycephalic breeds, other breeds of dogs and pets like cats will also experience some flatulence from time to time.
Depending on what is causing it, here are some ways you can help your pet stop farting so much.
Too Much Air
Most dogs eat down their food very quickly, and while they’re doing this they’re also swallowing lots of air, which causes air to build up in the belly, and flatulence to ensue. While cats are less prone to eat quickly, they too can get gassy from swallowing too much air. To help out with this, you can try feeding your pets smaller meals throughout the day or even buy toys that are specifically designed to help your pet eat slower.
Bacteria and Parasites
If your pet is producing too many gases through bacterial fermentation in the intestine this could also lead to an increase in passing gas. Your vet will be able to let you know what the cause is, and what the next steps are.
In some cases, a feces test may be needed to make sure that your pet does not have parasites, giardia, or pathological bacteria. Then, based on the results of the test, you may need to start your furkiddo on some form of treatment, which could be antibiotics or deworming, depending on the problem. We also suggest Inulin-PK vet-formulated, natural parasite cleanser, and dewormer for dogs.
Supplements
To help support the health of the digestive tract, we recommend NHV Yucca. Yucca root is a powerful herb with many properties beneficial to pets, including helping to support digestion and being highly nutritive. NHV Yucca is vet-formulated to be easy to administer to pets and is safe for long-term use. Yucca root is often used in pet foods not only because of how nutritious it is but also because it contains compounds that can help reduce unpleasant odors in urine and feces. It also has antiparasitic properties that may be helpful in the case your pet has parasites such as giardia.
Diet
If you’ve tried these tricks and the problem still persists, it might sometimes be necessary to change your pet’s diet. Your current regimen could include some ingredients that your furkiddo is allergic/intolerant to, or the diet could be too high in carbohydrates, fat, or protein. It is important to avoid garlic, onions, soybeans, dairy products, and any ingredients that can be toxic to your pet. It’s also a good idea to walk your dog 30 minutes after each meal, as this can help with digestion and the elimination of gases.
For help finding a balanced diet for your pet, I offer personalized nutrition plans through NHV. These nutrition plans are cooked by you at home so that you can be certain of what is in your pet’s diet and that they are getting the right balance of nutrients that they need.
When To See The Vet
Whether your pet’s toots make you laugh, make you cringe, or leave the room, it’s important to pay attention to and monitor whether their gas is normal or too much as there could be a more serious issue with the diet or intestines or both. An extreme of this could result in abdominal distension (swelling in the abdomen), significant discomfort, or worse, and should certainly be taken seriously. If you notice that your pet’s gas passing habits have changed, you should contact your vet.
There’s no need to panic! It can be overwhelming and scary to think that every time your pet farts that there might be an issue. If you ever have a concern or are unsure if your pet’s farting is normal, please send us a message.

Natural Constipation Support for Dogs
Besides straining and painful or difficult defecation, if you realize your pup is showing signs like hard, dry small stools, lethargy, loss of appetite, hunched posture or vomiting for more than two days, you should consider taking them to see your trusted vet to run some tests to figure out the underlying cause. Your vet will be able to check the consistency of the stools through a physical examination and get an idea of how advanced the constipation is. Further exams like lab tests, endoscopy, and image exams like X-rays and ultrasounds might be required to rule out other conditions like tumors in the GI tract, for instance. Musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, and diseases in the urinary tract also need to be ruled out since they can be the primary causes of constipation.
Constipation is a very serious symptom. It is important to keep in mind that chronic constipation can lead to more complicated issues like obstipation and megacolon. Obstipation happens when fecal matter becomes chronically compacted, and your furkiddo can't poop at all. Megacolon happens when the colon loses its normal motility and ability to eliminate waste normally. Obstipation and megacolon are complex health issues and may require manual or surgical removal by your trusted vet. The treatment for constipation will depend on the underlying cause, its severity and its duration.
For acute constipation or constipation that tends to recur, we'd suggest adding a natural dog constipation support remedy like NHV Maris to your pup’s daily meals. Maris’ gentle formulation means that you can safely increase the dosage on days that your pet needs the extra support. NHV Maris for dog constipation can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as natural health support. Maris promotes soft stools and may help improve colon health in puppies (vaccinated and weaned), as well as adult dogs.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Constipation Remedy Eases Constipation
Constipation can cause a lot of discomfort for your little one. Ingredients like Cascara Sagrada and Ginger can improve intestinal muscle tone, reduce muscle cramping during bowel movements and relieve nausea. The laxative properties in Maris create softer stool, which also makes bowel movements easier and reduces straining. Herbs like Dandelion promote healthy movement through the colon by stimulating bile flow while Marshmallow soothes and lubricates irritated digestive tissues.
Causes for Constipation in Dogs
There are many different causes for constipation such as:
- Diet. Just like humans, pets with a diet insufficient in fiber can present constipation.
- Intestinal blockages. Some pets can also accidentally swallow indigestible materials which may cause blockages and abnormal fecal transit.
- Hairballs can also cause constipation in extreme cases.
- Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
- Low activity levels.
- Tumors either inside the gastrointestinal tract or external to this system.
- Elderly pets seem to be more prone to constipation. One of the reasons is because some of them have pain and discomfort associated with other concurrent conditions.
- Anal gland issues and conditions in the prostate.
- Medications such as opiates, diuretics, antihistamines, and antacids.
- Diseases like hypothyroidism, chronic kidney failure, osteoarthritis, and orthopedic conditions in general, central nervous system disorders, stress, and skin conditions.

Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.

Hello Dr. Amanda,
Thank you for proving such informational content regarding pets and Gas. I’ve been reading online regarding this problem of farting of animals, and I think this is completely natural. One should accept this natural habit ass your pet can do nothing about it.
Tell if I’m wrong, but farting is healthy for pets as it can eliminate the chances of bloating belly. However, if farting is not natural as it has already been said in this informative article, then one must pay a visit to the vet.
Thanks
Hamza
Hi Hamza,
Sometimes farting can be normal of course as it is physiological. However, it can be related to a disease such as IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) for example. The idea of the blog is to give some tips on how to identify if it is physiological or pathological. The best person to give the diagnose is the vet.
If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re always here to help.
Yours in wellness,
Team NHV
I get it now.
Thanks
