Puppy food recommendation

We lost our dear Charlie to cancer at five years old a few months back. He was our fourth OES and the first to leave us at other than the normal 10 to 12 years old. We're pretty wary of everything our latest OES pup, Brody, comes in contact with. We installed a whole house declorinator in our home and switched from plastic to stainless steel water bowls. We want to do everything we can to protect him. We're currently feeding our 10 week old pup Blue Buffalo Puppy food. It has all the right traits, but gives him flatulence that runs us out of the house. Has anyone had any experience with this and what might you suggest as a alternative or cure?

Which Blue puppy formula? There are several. First read the contents, I've always had trouble with soy and sheepdogs.........PEEE U! Could be the protein type or the amount you are giving him. Try switching the protein source....just buy small bags and experiment, switching gradually over a few days to reduce further puppy distress. Could be all the extra veggies and fruits are not be handled by the little squirt, might have to experiment with less product type feed......a protein and carb........not 20 different things. Each pup is different, some have allergies or at least sensitivity to certain products; protein type or the carb. While a probiotic might help with the gas, finding the right food is "easier". Right now I'm feeding Kensie Canidae. Nature's "whatever" are her treats as I'm trying to stay away from grains for her and her ear problems.

Another dog had a horrible time with corn.
