If you want to quickly and easily stop your dog's gas problems... then this article will show you a simple way that works almost every time.
Many years ago when I was growing up, we had a bull terrier named Garry -- who everyone loved.
But it was kind of a "love-hate" relationship.
Because, while Garry had a lot of love in his heart... he also had a TON of gas in his belly.
It was so bad I remember my dad actually had a can of air freshener "standing by" morning, noon and night to counter the nauseating (and often silent) gas Garry regularly unleashed throughout the day.
Looking back, there's one thing we should have tried to solve that problem.
Something that's easy to do, costs almost nothing, and that you can apply immediately.
And that is simply raising the elevation of your dog's feeding and water bowls.
In other words, if your dog stands three feet high... instead of letting him eat his food and drink his water on the ground, put them on a shelf, stoop or some other surface so he doesn't have to bend over.
What does this do?
Well, for one thing, eating and drinking at your dog's natural head height (instead of bending over) normalizes his digestion and can minimize his gas.
How?
Because, when your dog bends over to eat, he will almost always snatch the food into his mouth to prevent it from dropping. And when he snatches the food he'll also gulp air, too.
Maybe even a LOT of air.
And air in your dog's gut can cause gas.
Sometimes extremely bad and smelly gas.
And besides cutting down on the gas, when your dog eats at head height, it also reduces stress on his bones, joints and muscles.
Which is especially helpful for dogs with Arthritis and hip problems.
Anyway, try this yourself and see.
Simply put your dog's food and water bowls on something that elevates them off the ground... (check your local pet store) and the difference will be immediate.
Trust me, this simple secret can do wonders for your dog's gas problems... and save you a bundle on air freshener!
