Dog Gas – ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

My rottie, Bear, will clear a room in no time flat! I have been sleeping and awakened by his gas! Its embarrassing when people come over and the whole house smells like awful.

An even better probiotic is cultured milk called Keffir, however it is normally quite a bit more expensive.  Any active culture yogurt should work quite well.
“Research results have been mixed when it comes to the relationship between yogurt cultures and immune function, yeast infections and lowered risk of certain cancers. Animal studies suggest that yogurt with active starter cultures and probiotics may enhance certain immune functions. …. read more of this article here
