Hello All Happy New Year!!
I just adopted a Standard Puppy (she is on her way as we speak/type ha)
I have 2 Miniature Schnauzers and a Pom/Chi Mix. Clearly they are all small.
I bought a slightly elevated food bowl for our new girl.
(I'm getting to my point I swear)
So two days ago my husband left the door to the pantry open where we keep the dogs food and one of my Schnauzers self served for 15 mins and ate 6lbs of dog food. Yes you heard right 6lbs. Well in my panic I was searching online for signs of bloat. And I was reading that bloat can be caused by elevated food bowls and that Standard Poodles are at a greater risk of getting bloat. SOOO there in lyes the question..
Should I avoid an elevated bowl for her all together?? What do those of you who have Standards use?
( My mini is fine in case you were wondering no bloat vet gave her some pooping medicine and it was all gone with in a day.. I always swore she would eat herself to death if ever given the chance and I was defiantly proven right!)
