 |  |  |  | My grandpa is a veterinarian and he said never to feed kibble to dogs that are prone to bloat/gastric torsion. It swells in their stomachs and is the worst food for these breeds of dog. I am fed homemade chicken and rice, but any kind of wet food is fine if you're not up to cooking. But please no kibble! Also, no exercise for an hour before and 2 hours after eating. Large meals split into 2 or three meals is safer too, as well as watching water intake, especially after playing on a hot day! Small amounts of water after playing, not gulping and gulping! Running up and down large sets of stairs, or any kind of body jerking movements are dangerous with food in the stomach as well. The deeper the chest, the more prone they are. |  |  |  |  |
