la farts. A lot. When I asked my vet about why she is so gassy, he laughed, and said it was because she was a Rottweiler-it's what they do. We elevate her bowls, feed small meals, and she still farts probably 50 times a day. Fortunately, we've got a good sense of humor about it (We joke that she's our cuckoo clock-except instead of chirping, she's farting) but I've been concerned that it was a health problem.
But her gas has finally passed!!
OptaGest is a complete digestive supplement for cats and dogs, which can aid in the treatment of bad breath, gas, and intestinal discomfort. The plant based enzymes and Fructooligosacharides (FOS) work quickly to aid the good bacteria to keep the stomach balanced and healthy. Diet change, anxiety, and aging can all play a role in digestive problems. But here we have a powder, that my dogs will gladly eat with their regular food, that will help keep their digestive issues at bay. The gas and acid buildup that was causing toots and bad breath is gone, and my dogs and my home smell much nicer.
Initially, we started OptaGest (thanks to the folks at InClover for the samples) hoping that it would improve Lyger's old man breath, which it has. But, you can imagine how happy I am that there are far fewer farts. As an added bonus, Lyger has not had any of his irritable bowel symptoms since starting the supplement a few weeks back, and if he goes for a few more months without an incident, I'll likely contribute that to OptiGest as well.
You can buy online or in a shop near you. The product description even gives a helpful idea of how long a container will last for your pet, but it's probably a while since it's just a small dose for my big dogs.
