Moboyds thread is great! I am going to find my old ones and a mod is going to link them together! there is one issue that is a little misleading and going through my paperwork as we speak! But the raised bowls are definately a big no no!

When I got Neva I asked my vet about bloat. He looked and me and said Jill whatever you did with Tre was right as her chest was deeper than my collies. Tre was a wonderful mutt that I adored for 10 yrs parentage unknown mom had Aussie in her Dad Shepherd/Dobie we think. This was a very good read thanks for putting it back in the limelight. I have read some other posts on this and think its very useful info...Jill

I lost my beloved St Bernard to bloat 6 years ago, I fed little and often didn't excercise after meals but she did have raised food and water bowls as all the advice on the internet pointed to this being best

sorry to hear this and yes at one time they advised raised bowls, but since they have done surveys into the subject the advice has changed. we have all at one time fallen for it, I too had raised bowls at one time.
