Prevent Bloating in Dogs

Bloat in dogs is a very serious medical condition that should be treated as an emergency. The technical name for bloat is gastric dilation and volvulus syndrome GDV and it occurs when the stomach dilates or expands with fluid and gas. Once the stomach expands the problems increase, as the stomach twists and rotates around its short axis.1 GDV needs to be treated quickly, as the twisting action can irreparably damage the body tissues, leading to death.
