Today, I got my dog some weight loss formula food, as she is very overweight. This new food makes her have horrible gas. FML

Today, I've been on the verge of throwing up all day. Why? My dog is intolerant to grain, but grain-free dog food causes heart problems so she can't have that. Now our lives are filled with nasty farts and Hershey squirts with no end in sight. It's a rough time for us both. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet and she was diagnosed with obesity. The vet then told me that dogs usually imitate their owners eating and behavior habits. FML
Today, whilst still trying to potty train my puppy and keep her from both peeing and pooping in the house, my lactose intolerance kicked in full fledge. Every time I pass gas, she smells poop and believes it's okay to immediately drop a deuce on the carpet. FML
Today, after being worried for a week because my dog wasn't eating, I paid the vet $120 for her to tell me that my dog doesn't like her dog food. FML
Today, my dog had REALLY bad diarrhea. I found that out when I woke up to find it all over my bed. FML
Today, I was at my girlfriend's house for dinner. Her mom gave me some seasoned cauliflower, which I didn't like. Not wanting to dissapoint my girlfriend's mom, I slipped the cauliflower of my plate and gave it to their dog. It turns out cauliflower gives their dog explosive diarrhea. FML
Today, I learned that the vomiting and uncontrollable flatulence I've been suffering from is normal with my new diet. FML
Today, I brought my new puppy home. I saw her sniffing around, so I took her outside to do her business. She simply played in the grass for ten minutes, so I brought her in. She walked in the door, squatted, and shit. She has diarrhea. This is the fourth time today. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, my dog won’t eat the premium $30 per kilo food I buy him, but he will eat other dog’s shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have the same problem except that the dog is my grandfather. And that he's not overweight, he's just regularly gassy

Give her a few days to get used to the food, sometimes changing an animals diet can take a couple of days adjusting and terrible gas/toilet breaks. If it continues, try a different brand.

You're really not supposed to just switch foods. You should give her a mix of new and old & gradually increase the ratio of new food over several days at least.

I won't comment on how fat she is because I don't know why she's fat, but I do want to point out that a lot of those "special formula" foods are complete and utter garbage. Unless there is a medical issue (which, again, I won't comment on because I am not a vet), you are better off going with a higher quality kibble or a well researched raw diet and increasing exercise. When you do start exercising this dog, remember that she will need to be worked up to longer workouts. You can't just take a fat dog on a 5 mile hike right out of the gate just like you can't just take a fat human on a 5 mile hike right away. She must be built up to it. Keeping her fit will also keep her joints in better shape which can ultimately mean you get a few more years with her. Food is not love. Fat dogs are not cute. Fat dogs make me sad. Good luck with slimming her down.

Give a little time. Weight loss food is very different than normal food so the tummy just needs to get used to it. If it doesn't get better, take the dog to the vet and they will guide you to find the right kind of food. Until then hang in there friend and good luck

But does it make the dog lose weight?

That's why you're supposed to start out a new food by mixing it in with the old one so their bodies get used to it

Honestly instead of ducking around with expensive "diet dog food" how about putting her on a healthy home cooked diet, veggies fresh meat and rice go a long way

Of course she's gassy. That's how you know the new food is working.

That means it's disagreeing with her. Get other food that doesn't upset her poor little digestive system.

You gotta give it to her slow by mixing it with the other food at first everyday you give it to her decrease the amount of the other food then stop giving it to her since you switched her quick it upset her stomach just wait a few days and it should start calming down

What's more important to you? Her health or your momentarily happiness??
