Generally, it takes more than just a probiotic to solve an issue like this, as digestive enzymes are very important to make sure food is broken down properly and not just fermented. Yes, I feel the Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics will help support your dog's digestive health. I would also consider the Herbal Digestive Tonic to help promote better digestion of food as well. If your dog needs more help, I would consider the natural cell salt Nat Mur #9 that helps to support healthy levels of hydrochloric acid in the gut. Diet plays a role in digestive issues. Most commercial, processed pet food diets contain large amounts of carbohydrates/starches that dogs and cats do not have a biological need for and can ferment in the gut causing gas and bloating. Perhaps a premix to which you add your own meat may be a good choice and we offer more suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
