Help... not sure how much longer I can take the smell of my puppy!

When Harvey went through a phase of this I lifted his feed bowl off the floor (put it on top of an empty tin of quality street - well it was Christmas). This stopped it. No idea why it worked but it was recommended to me and it did work.
 
I *think*, but don't quote me, that it has something to do with stopping them gulping in air as they eat, which in turn can lead to the windy-pops the other end.

It worked anyway, unless it was a coincidence.
 
It is the curse of labradors I'm afraid!!:eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D

You can try charcoal biscuits which help and the other thing is getting a gluten free dog food - like Skinners - the cereal content of dog food will make it worse. Mine gets Skinners and the occaisional raw meal/tinned fish/eggs/fresh bones etc It all helps but it will never get rid of it completely as you can't stop a lab eating something they are not supposed to - usually when you aren't looking!!:eek::eek::eek::rolleyes::D
 
My lab had the trumps really badly when he was around that age. It did stop as he got older, although he is still known to do some evil ones from time to time! He also used to hiccup ALL the time when he was a pup
 
Ok so I've started feeding him from a slightly raised height, so far still trumping like a good 'un but only 2 feeds in. Will let u know the results.

Strange thing is he is a yellow lab and my previous yellow lab also did killer parps but my chocolate lab doesn't... is there something in that??? LOL!
 
Try adding a dollop of natural yogurt in with his food - Henry has this and it is very effective!
 
James wellbeloved gave our dobbie and whippet terible wind for some reason, we now feed them hypoallergenic food, either Arden Grange or Burns are really good and it seemed to sort the problem out. We also put a rock in the dobbies bowl because she scoffs her food down like a little piggie :D
 
We have this trouble with our nearly 2 year old GWP and have had since she was tiny. Her Mum never has a problem. We have tried different foods to no avail and she has one of those "brakefast" bowls to stop her gulping but again, no improvement at all!!
We have (almost) learnt to live with it and I just stick my nose up my sleeve for a bit!!
 
Well I must say that feeding him with the bowl raised slightly does seem to be working! May be it's coincidence, who knows, but there has been less parps than before. The ones he does are still as bad but less frequent. Easter egg goes to Patches!

He is going on to Pedigree puppy food now (just due to price) so I will see if that makes any difference.
