How do you stop a dog farting?
As per the subject line (and without hurting him, causing him distress or getting rid of him).
Cause if i don't do something soon i'm worried i'll suffocate in my own house!

What are you feedimg him? What comes out is just a function of what goes in.

PS. lighting a match clears the smell.

If you put mint in to the food they dont smell half so bad.
Tip 79 - Flatulence in dogs - dog farting - treating dog farts
Although most dogs seem to enjoy the smell of a human flatus or fart, the reverse is rarely true. Dogs suffering from excessive flatulence (farting)
can quickly pollute the air quality in a room. Although not harmful to human health, the smell is often horrific and can it create some embarrassing
moments, especially when guests are around.
The most common causes of bad flatulence in dogs include;
* Eating too fast - When the dog eats too fast, swallowed air (aerophagia) makes it to the intestines very quickly and in a more concentrated
quantity.
* The natural processes of producing the gas through food digestion and absorption within the digestive and eliminatory tracts.
* Eating foods that are known to cause flatulence (beans, cauliflower etc).
* Eating a poor quality dog food.
Tips that can help diminish the severity of dog flatulence:
*
Instead of feeding your dog 1 or 2 portions of food per day, divide the daily ration into smaller portions and feed the dog more frequently.
*
Sometimes dogs eat too quickly because they fear their food will be taken away, so feed your dog in a quiet comfortable area.
* Exercise the dog more frequently to stimulate its intestines.
* Choose a premium brand of dog food that is highly digestible.
There are products on the market that can can be added to dog food in order to reduce farting but these should only be used after consulting your
veterinarian. Activated charcoal is often used in this regard and it does absorb the bad smelling gasses that cause bad flatulence. It must be used
with caution and only occasionally however, since it can also rob the dog's body of the nutrients it is getting from its food.
It should be noted that although bad flatulence can be reduced, all dogs (just like all humans) experience daily flatulence and it should never be
your intention to get your dog to stop farting altogether.

Charcoal tablets worked for my Doberman.
He could clear a large room in three seconds! My mate mate actually puked!
Won't stop the farting, just makes the air breathable.

If it's anything like our old dog you'd be in danger of clearing the roof off your house if you did that!

Dry food may help
- Tinned Meat mush will have him wizzing out of his......
My Dalmatian cross when I was a kid farted so much, that if any of the family blew a raspberry after he farted he knew he would get kicked out of the
living room...
He got so paranoid of the raspberry noise that whenever he heard it he would head straight for the kitchen.
My Dalmatian genuinely looked depressed when you blew a raspberry, as he walked off.
You could always get him back !

Funnily enough - our Doberman can also clear a room. He has the habbit of farting then leaving the room himself..... 
I assume the you don;t feed the dog the tablets.... Just use them as a filter..... does the dog complain alot about having a charcoal filter strapped
across it A***.

Not a dog fart, but just as bad.
One xmas someone let the most awful brussel sprout fart.
No one would admit to it.
Anyway my old dog walked in from the garden.
He went straight to my Mother inlaw, and sniffed her bum..........
Boy did she not get to live that one down...
FREE THE ROADSTER ONE…!!

We've always fed our dogs on raw meat from the butchers and never had any problems - Its what the dogs guts were designed to digest after all.
You can get it minced up in tubes at most butchers.

Same here, tho we do mix the fresh meat with dry kibble & don,t have a problem with funny noises/smells from our dogs
all of our dogs ( 8 dogs) live outside during the day and only come in at night , on the odd occasion that one of them does fart they seem to look at
eachother as if saying "was that you?"
its quite funny to see the reaction
cheers

our westie gives her backside a funny look if they ripple on the way out.
A little natural yohgurt added to her diet seems to keep the smells at bay.
