DEAR TABBY | Fido’s Rear Renditions Hit a Sour Note

Dear Tabby,

Lately I’ve turned into quite the musical mutt, much to my human’s annoyance! I seem to have gas troubles all the time now that I’ve reached my senior era. Especially after meals, my tummy rumbles and out burts some stinky symphonies from my tooting tail-end! I think my human is at their wit’s end with the smell. What should I do to stop being such a foghorn?

Sincerely,

Flatulent Fido in Fresno

Dear Flatulent Fido,

I fully align in exasperation when an upset stomach yields turbulent tuba tunes down under! But fret not – I’ve rallied remedies to have the barks coming from the proper end. With these tips, you can get your rumbles back on harmonious sonic and smell grounds.

First, audit thy diet, good sir! Some foods, especially those intended for humans, can be culprits in the composition of those outburst overtures. Beware of new foods that trigger toots.

Digestive distress often results from scarfing too quickly. Slow down your chow times and enjoy each morsel! There are even slow-feeder bowls designed with divots, walls, and grooves to help tamp down your intake speed.

Gentle, regular walks also work wonders for healthy motility and lowering excess gas buildup. But steer clear of gobbling up stuff you find on the ground.

Additionally, probiotics or gas-relief chews may help. Your vet can make recommendations or provide prescriptions if the problem persists.

Applying these fixes consistently should have your tummy-caused tooting under tighter control soon.

If all else fails, stand proud and own any posterior percussion! Lean into being a fun-loving farting Fido. After all, everyone occasionally gets a good laugh from some stinky-but-catchy musical backfire!

Don’t worry too much. Your family will always love their little stinker no matter what. Besides, it’s all very natural. Even humans emit similar smelly sonic booms on occasion.

Tailwags,

Tabby
