cuttsie   1,091 #1 Posted August 21, 2021 Our dog is my best pal , we go every where together, he sleeps at my feet and is there with a nuzzle and a wagging tail if I am down in the dumps .  However he has one fault , A fault that causes visitors to flee and us to cover our noooasers with a  pillow , He farts , He farts for England, he can stink out a room be it at the pub or in a aero hanger , the smell is awful like old cabbage mixed with rotting fish skin .  So any advise please , How do we stop him letting them go , we have tried funny shaped dishes to slow his eating down , tablets from the vets , starving and spraying him wi scent but now't works he just carries on through thick and thin , I might have to move out .

Mr Bloke   1,445 #5 Posted August 21, 2021 Hmmm... Readers of a certain age will no doubt remember the childhood delight of scoffing a full packet of parma violets and then breathing the scented fragrance over anyone who came close.  I'm thinking that this may also have a similar effect on Fido's digestive system.  If you were to secrete one such sweetie into his daily Bonio treat, you may soon have a companion who you would once again be proud to call your best friend...  ... and it will also save you a small fortune in air freshener!

Stop feeding him cabbage, it may be cheaper but its not worth it. Try a food with more meat, like Millies Wolfheart.  https://www.millieswolfheart.co.uk/dog-food/60-meat-fish-recipes/farmers-mix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
