Fart Free Feeding: How to Reduce Dog Flatulence and Keep the Air Clear
Posted by ROBERT MACLEOD on
We all love our dogs – but let’s be honest, nobody enjoys it when their four-legged pal clears the room with a sudden stink. Dog flatulence is more common than many owners realise, and while the occasional whiff is normal, frequent or particularly smelly gas can be a sign that something isn’t quite right with your dug’s diet or digestion.
At McDug Nutrition, we’re obsessed with feeding dogs the way they deserve – with care, quality and clever science behind every bowl. That’s why our Health & Wellness range is specially designed to support digestion, skin, coat, joints, and overall wellbeing. And yes, it can also help with those embarrassing whiffs
Why Do Dogs Fart?
Dog flatulence is usually caused by:
Poor digestion of protein or fat – when food isn’t broken down properly, bacteria in the gut produce extra gas.
Eating too quickly – gulping down food means swallowing air, which ends up out the other end.
Table scraps and unsuitable treats – human food (especially rich, fatty or spicy foods) can upset your dug’s tummy.
Food sensitivities – some dogs simply don’t cope well with certain ingredients.
3 Top Tips to Reduce Dog Flatulence
💡 Here are three simple but effective ways to keep your dug’s tummy settled and your home fresh:
1. Feed a highly digestible diet
Look for dog food that uses high-quality proteins and gentle cooking methods. Our Freshtrusion® HDP process breaks down proteins into tiny peptides – the “Goldilocks size” for your dug to absorb. This means less waste, better nutrition, and less gas.
2. Slow down mealtimes
Use a slow-feeder bowl or puzzle feeder to stop your dug from inhaling their dinner. Slower eating = less swallowed air.
3. Stick to dog-friendly food
Avoid slipping your dug table scraps, especially rich or fatty leftovers. What smells tasty to us can spell trouble for them (and for your living room later!).
The Freshtrusion® HDP Difference
Our Health & Wellness recipes use Freshtrusion® HDP – a natural enzyme process that gently cooks UK-sourced proteins at low temperatures. This does three clever things:
Boosts digestibility – more nutrients absorbed, less waste.
Reduces food sensitivities – peptides are hypoallergenic and less likely to upset tummies.
Supports overall health – peptides fuel keratin, collagen and elastin, helping not just digestion but also skin, coat, and joint strength.
In other words, Freshtrusion® HDP doesn’t just help keep the air clear – it helps your dug thrive from nose to tail.
Health & Wellness: Science in the Bowl
Our Health & Wellness range is designed for dogs who need a little extra support:
Digestive Care – for sensitive stomachs.
Skin & Coat Care – powered by protein peptides for glossy coats.
Weight Management – keeping the pounds off without losing nutrition.
Every recipe is grain-free, vet-backed, and made with responsibly sourced UK ingredients.
Final Thought: Fresh Air, Happy Dug
Dog farts might be funny sometimes, but persistent smells aren’t something you need to put up with. By choosing the right food, managing mealtime habits, and understanding your dug’s digestion, you can enjoy a fresher home and a healthier, happier dog.
👉 Explore the McDug Health & Wellness range today and give your dug the gift of good health – and yourself the gift of fresh air.
🐾 Because love should linger, not the smell.
