Different brand suit different dogs and some dogs are just prone to having bad wind!

When both mine were on JWB, Millie practically lifted a normal house into a tower block.  ::) ::) But it had absolutely no effect on Cassie's 'after-burner'.  It's down to each dog's little gift, I'm afraid.   :shades: :shades:

eurgh!  :P my boys always had bad wind and huge poos on JWB, it also didn't do anything for the boys coats-Patrick looked like an explosion in a bedding factory! :005: Freddy just lost rear skirts and leg feathers  >:( :005: not a good look for a pair of show boys! so i have been giving Freddy Hill's (on offer in P@H £1.99 for 1kg samples-thanks Cazza!) and have put Patrick on Simpsons Premium (will probably switch Freddy to this when the hill's offer finishes) and so far no obnoxious smells and coat condition in both boys is far better! so JWB didn't suit my boys.

Hi
Charlie has been on JWB for the last year and has been relatively wind free!
Think it might be worth trying to change food brand?

I switched Duggie gradually onto JWB as I couldn't get the Royal Canin right away that the breeder had him on, and he immediately got the runs, so changed him back to Royal Canin as soon as it was in stock. :D

Rufus did not like JWB either as puppy (it was in our vet welcome pack) or adult. He got wind, but as a newbie it took me a while to work out what the smell was! He does not get wind on Harrington's

Fred would have stripped the nasal hairs off an anteater on JWB but both Burns and Arden Grange were a totally diff story although he lost a lot of weight on Burns.  I hope you find a food that suits your dogs and you pocket soon-it isnt fun trying to find the right food but def worth it in the end!

Our 2 are on Burns chicken and Rice and the wind is a big problem.  I found charcoal bonio at my local pet shop and one per day each has sorted out wind problem.
