Thursday, September 21, 2006Dog Odor - Foul Smelling Gas
When dogs were wild, earth’s water had so few pathogens and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), that it was able to clean itself. The air was completely free of the toxic spew that scientists have been arguing is responsible for global warming. Oxygen levels are lower today then they were then, and are declining!
When dogs were wild, they hunted and ate fresh kill: They were leaner and meaner then they are today, but they were also healthier! Along with the domestication of dogs, came the domestication of their diet, followed by an epidemic of health issues related to the breakdown of their GI tract. Certainly diminished water and air quality, plus constant exposure to toxic cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, and pesticides haven’t helped.
If you have ever owned a dog(s) you’ve experienced foul smelling gas. Sometimes it’s enough to drive you out of a room. Did you ever stop to think about why, this happens? The answer is as close as the nearest mirror!
In computer lingo, the acronym GIGO stands for - Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Owning a domestic dog is a huge responsibility. It should not be taken lightly! What are you feeding your dog?
Dog Food
Here’s an old joke that makes the point: Two guys are walking down the street. They walk past a restaurant. One says to the other “Man the food in that place is awful!” His friend replies “Yeah, but they give you a lot of it.”
The same can be said for commercial dry dog foods, which are sorely lacking in nutritional value, but compared to canned is relatively cheap. Despite the list of ingredients on the label, they are mostly bland tasteless empty calories; basically they are hardly more than filler. Some manufactures actually spray their dry food with recycled restaurant grease, just to give it some flavor. I’ll bet you didn’t know that!
Now before you throw out the dry food and rush to replace it with canned food, know this: The meat in most canned dog foods is scrap, and/or meat unfit for humans. It is over cooked, over processed and likely loaded with hormones and antibiotics. (Not that most commercial meat is that much better). It is virtually devoid of life giving energy.
Hopefully you’ve come to terms with the fact that you need to become proactive regarding everything you give your dog! Giving your dog food that has little (if any) nutritional value eventually has a consequence. And that consequence has a price- which is typically quite high on many levels. It can’t be emphasize enough- Where is your dog going to get the nutrients they need if it is not in their food?
Many people “love their dogs to death” by feeding them people food, or table scraps, or sweets. Feeding your dog low quality foods, or foods and sweets that they are not meant to eat taxes their already compromised digestive system. Add multi-generations of similar feeding and it’s easy to see why dogs are suffering from a myriad of health issues today.
Not only do commercial food and table scraps lack nutritional value, they are also harder to break down and move through your dog’s GI tract, and out as stool. Is this beginning to smell? If this continues, gas is the least of your worries. So you can’t rely on dry or canned dog foods. Now what?
A Step In The Right Direction
The ground swell of awareness as to the benefits of raw, organic dog food is very encouraging. However, be aware that even though organic raw dog foods are vastly superior to commercial foods, they still do not compare to the nutritional value in a fresh kill!
And even if you are among the growing ranks of dog owners who have switched to raw organic food choices, your dog(s) can still experience bad gas. Why?
There are several reasons, including the obvious, somewhere along the way, between your purchase and use, the raw food was exposed to air, or sufficient heat to cause pathogenic bacteria to begin growing.
However, the primary reason for foul smelling gas is that your dogs’ intestinal tract and immune system have been highly compromised due to generations of domesticated diet, and exposure to toxic chemicals.
Ideally, a meal should move through your dog in about 24 hours. If it stays there much longer than that, the putrefaction process will overwhelm your dog’s GI tract. The longer it stays in your dog, the more likely it is that you will experience foul smelling gas. Over time, your dog constipation is also likely to develop.
The fact is, today, dogs need supplements to assist in the digestive process.
Gas is your first sign that your dog is in immediate need of beneficial intestinal flora supplements- or probiotics!
Probiotics
Probiotics are naturally occurring good bacteria derived from fermentation, or culturing. Yogurt is an example of a probiotic. Alas, it has been marketed as suitable to replenish the good bacteria (beneficial intestinal flora) necessary for proper food digestion.
Caution! There is a big difference between laboratory studies of how probiotic supplements perform in a petri dish, versus how they perform inside your dog’s gut.
Soil Based Organisms
Some 25 years ago, laboratory researchers began exploring an entirely new type of probiotic. Instead of coming from cultured dairy products, these probiotics thrive in organic soil. Appropriately, they were collectively named Soil Based Organisms (SBOs).
The benefit of using SBOs to replenish the good bacteria in your dog’s gut is their resistance to stomach acids. In order to produce SBOs in quantity, they must be cultured in a laboratory environment, using strict scientific protocols. This is both time, and rather expensive space consuming, but necessary to assure efficacy.
Formulating SBOs into a specific product capable of quickly restoring your dog’s proper GI balance took 5 years of intense R & D. The formula consists of 29 individual strains of active SBOs, working synergistically to overcome pathogens, and bad bacteria causing the foul smelling gas. If kept on hand, this combination of SBOs can be administered for each foul gas episode, or may be given regularly as a preventative.
