Orijen Regional Red...I like it because its Grain Free and No Chicken.. he had bad gas before this one, I had him on Acana Large Breed Puppy I switched to see if maybe it was the Chicken bothering him plus there was some Oats in the Acana. I did Google how to help it but it said to try giving him some peppermint leaves with his food or Charcoal from the pet store..I just want to try minimize the amount hes letting go, it can be toxic some nights..I hope I find something soon to help |

I have read of a few people complaining about bad gas on high protein diets (Acana and Orijen are high in protein compared to other foods). Some dogs can not handle the high protein.
My dog is on Orijen as well but he has no gas or diarrhea and digests it well. You might want to consider going to a completely different brand to see if it helps his digestion and gas. Check http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ and shop for some other brands that might fit your requirements. Give him a few months on a different food to see if it helps, if not then you can just switch foods back. You might want to talk to the vet about it the next time you see them as well. |

Maybe once this food is low we'll try going to a different brand lower in protein but the Vet did say Boxers are Gassy dogs, I talked to a tech this morning about it... |
