Walking Sideways!

Our cocker spaniel walks sideways - is this a common thing for cockers or should we be worried?
Plus, we put him on Blue Buffalo to bring down his weight but he has started passing gas and it's hard to stay in the same room with him!
Any ideas please?

I know of a few cocker spaniels (and a working cocker in our village) who 'crab', ie walk 'sideways' and, no, I don't think it's a problem, however, if you're really worried why not speak to your vet?
If your current dog food is causing gas, you could consider changing it for another brand of dog food until you find something that works for him.
You could also check out our article on overweight cocker spaniels - you might find it useful in helping your cocker to lose weight.
Good luck!
