What kind of food does he eat and do you feed him table scraps or anything else?

Mostly it’s going to depend on what you are feeding. Some things, with some dogs, are just learned that you don’t feed them that anymore. We had a pug that it was verboten to feed him a hotdog, the results were not pretty on multiple levels.
Some types of dogs will always fart, no matter what - but if it's really that bad, I'd look at food and mobility, too. A lot of dogs actually have trouble digesting grain, but a lot of dog food is like 60% wheat. Other dogs really can't handle a lot of meat and need to be on dry food that's mostly grain. Try (gently) switching over to something else and see if it helps. And make sure they get enough exercise - like with humans, it helps digestion.
My boy does not fart very often, but they smell bad too. Unluckily for me, sometimes his farts sound like a bicycle horn. It is quite amusing.
Lock up your Gasbandits, today is World Redhead Day! High-five to my ginger brethern.
My mother refused to believe that my old Sid (a cat) farted and used to blame me. I’d own it had it been me. That cat was lovely in many ways and I loved her dearly, but she had her stinky moments. She used to sneak Doritos.

In my experience, baseline dog farts are tantamount to biological warfare.
You're a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro, and you're always lying to your friends.
I am now in Erie, PA and restored my internet connection. Let the 4th (and final) year of Dental school begin!
I am particularly proud of a case I finished just before the end of the 3rd year.

It's been a long road, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Looks good and expensive.

Willkommen in Amerika.
Guy actually didn't pay anything for them. The school takes Medicare. Out of pocket expense would probably be around $2500 or more depending on quality of materials used + lab fees
One of the interesting things I've run to in school is the # of Canadian patient's I've gotten. I finally got curious to ask and I was told dental care is even more expensive in Canada and isn't covered by their universal health care. Blew my mind.
That being said, I'm strongly considering a Fee For Service practice one day when I open my own, instead of dealing with insurance companies.
From my understanding, that's not uncommon. There's a major dental school here in my city, as well. While getting on the wait list can be annoying (several months wait time sometimes), it also means you can get major procedures for at a much lower cost. And they tell you procedures may take longer than going to the average dentist, which makes sense since these are dentists in training.
It's a similar situation in the UK. While dental care is technically offered on the NHS because NHS dentists work longer hours for less pay than ones in private practice any dentist who does work for the NHS is only there until they can join the private sector.
As such NHS dentists have long wait times by NHS standards, anyone who can afford it goes private & anyone who can't contributes to the British teeth stereotype.
My work provided insurance covers some dental work, but only at the “reasonable” rate. So when I went to a dentist once for some diagnostic work, I was out of pocket $500 for the half hour visit. My insurance paid the other $500. I exploded at my regular dentist. They didn’t warn me.
In the mean time, I'm having a wisdom tooth pulled next week, and between two visits, x-rays, the procedure itself, etc, I'll be out of pocket... Somewhere between 5 and 20 euro, I can't say for sure yet. I don't qualify for our social plan, or it'd be zero.
(just from our healthcare I'd be out about €150, but one of the benefits of working for a big American company is they think dental is a necessary benefit to keep people, so I now have a dental plan on top of Healthcare. Kinda useless most years but hey.)

Can we? Have to look into this. I need a fuckton of work.
Not far behind ya buddy.
If you're an AARP member, they offer Delta Dental insurance for a reasonable amount a month. Of course, there are caveats - usually you're talking about discount dentists (I'm pretty sure @Dei is familiar with Comfort Dental) that bill insurance, but you still pay a big chunk of the procedure.
Uhhhh, I don't know why you're tagging me, my husband has ridiculously good insurance and I'm not old enough for AARP.
They’re based out of Colorado.

Zach was up at 3:30 am last night. I could see his light on and the light in the bathroom, which is what woke me up. This morning my wife asked me if I had gotten sick in the tub. Apparently Zach had gotten up to use the bathroom and threw up in the only place he could reach since he was already on the toilet.
Why am I saying any of this? Zach, my son, does not leave the house and has seen nobody. He went out once Saturday to go through the Burger King drivethru while I got ready for my wedding gig, but that's the first time he's been outside in a month. And yet HE'S the one that got sick?!? JFC HOW?!?
