So what would be the dosage for a 140 lb Mastif female with the rankest gas I have ever smelled?

Gas is often caused by dogs eating their food too quickly or the food just not agreeing with them.  I would look into the food and how the dog eats before dosing them with something that was not made for them.

I wouldn't give him actual Beano or gasx, just wondering if there was a similar product for dogs. He eats pretty slowly but we did just change his food over (gradually) because our vet wants us to put some weight on him so maybe that's the problem.
