What are you feeding her?

Your library probably has a series of books on this issue. They are all about a dog named Walter.
Gas can save lives. Just remember that.

Are his stools properly formed, a good colour and firm? (I can't believe I just asked that, lol)

Walter the Farting Dog! We love those books.

Well that squashes my first idea. You're already feeding her something without corn, which is the usual culprit.

My youngest child feeds the animals in the morning. She gives her one scoop (1 cup measuring cup) in the morning. I give her another half to 3/4 cup right about supper time and she usually leaves a little bit of that in the bowl. She does drink A LOT of water! I fill up her water bowl at least 3 times a day. Of course the cat drinks from this bowl too.
Blessings,
Garsy

How big is the bowl?
3 times a day sounds a lot to me (even with the cat drinking from it too) unless it's a small bowl.
I have a Cavalier King Charles weighing 22lbs and his bowl only needs filling up once a day or once every other day (and he is on diuretics for his heart, which makes him drink a little more than usual)

It's an average size dog dish holds maybe a cup and a half to two cups of water. Pugs are notorious in the amount of water they drink, especially when the weather is so dry. She's been drinking a lot of water since the day we got her 5 years ago and before that she was my mother's dog and she said that she always drank a lot for her too. The vet never seems concerned about that. And sometimes I'm not really re-filling the entire bowl, just topping it off or getting fresh because she's gotten food in the water.
Blessings,
Garsy

Ps103-
We have a dog with the same general outlook. "It could be food! It might not be, but why take the chance of missing out."
Results in gas so powerful it once took half a day to clear the smell out of my boys room.

I love pugs.. I will keep this in mind when I can actually get one of my own. LOL!
Don't think my grandma's pug had this problem but she's long gone now.

Must be small sturdy dogs with gas problems. The dog I know that had such bad gas--alleviated with yogurt--was a Boston terrier.

Probably not the problem, but when was the last time you had your dog checked for worms? With solid poop, that's probably not it, but wouldn't hurt to check!
I do think some breeds tend to be more gassy than others. My pyrenees is a therapy dog and we frequently work with a boxer. My goodness that dog could clear a room!!! The handler says the dog is just gassy all the time! We usually work in either nursing homes or with kids at the library. Older folks think it's funny, and sometimes I do wonder if they are blaming it on the dog when it's really them! And kids, well, most kids think aything bathroom related is funny...
