I know that we have discussed Gastric Torsion & Your Dog before, and with the warmer weather quickly approaching some of us I wanted to elaborate on a simple preventative measure we can all take.
Coming directly from someone who has lost a dog to torsion in the past, preventative measures are so important. One of the easiest ways to prevent your dog encountering GDV is to slow the dog down while eating. I know what many people are thinking, but yes, you sure can slow down your dog’s food intake.
The Dog Pause Bowl is a fantastic product that can be used to help prevent the amount of gas built up during food consumption. Check out the short video below of Boomer eating his food to get a better understanding of what I am talking about.
As you can see in the video, Boomer had to work extra hard for all of that food, which slowed him down dramatically. I am not one to push all dog products onto everyone, but this is one I definitely believe in, use everyday, and would recommend to anyone. Check out our online store for more details and ordering information on the Dog Pause Bowls.
