All breeds can suffer bloat/torsion and do.

It is more common in large deep chested breeds.

I would always leave at least an hour between exercise and feeding, better a hungry dog than a dead one.

The warning signs of bloat/torsion are great a) if they occur and b) if owners are aware of them; often however either or both are not.

When I took both my dogs to the vet they wanted us to go away and come back in the morning, I stood my ground and my decision was, unfortunately, vindicated.

I now keep Windeze and Infacol to hand to give to my dogs should I believe they are having a bloat/torsion and would give them these on the way to my immediate trip to the vet.

(Both contain simethicone which is used in Gas Aid in the US for dogs and here for cattle).

I am intrested to hear about raised feeders as ive had one since she was a puppy but vet has told me not to use it. Have to be honest it has slowed her eating down as she gets a bit of kibble then stands back up to eat it then down for a bit more ect.
What are your thoughts on raised feeding?
