SIGNS OF
BLOATING IN DOGS
& WAYS TO PREVENT IT
• Bloating is an issue that affects many dogs.
• It can cause serious health problems that can be fatal.
• Here are some signs of bloating and ways to prevent it.
WHAT IS BLOATING
IN DOGS? • Bloating in dogs occur when the stomach gets filled with air, fluid, or even foam.
• This causes stomach to swell & twist which blocks the normal passages for air, water & food.
• This can be caused due to underlying health issues, stress or environmental factors.
• It can lead to shock, low blood pressure, organ damage & even death. • Seek veterinary care as soon as you begin to think there is a problem.
WAYS TO
SPOT BLOATING • Knowing the signs of bloating can help you catch the problem early.
• Signs include a distended stomach, restlessness, pacing, whining & unsuccessful vomiting.
• Keeping a close eye on your dog can help bloating from becoming a serious issue.
• Any change in your dog’s behavior is a signal of an underlying problem.
• Recognizing when changes occur is a perfect way to care for your pet.
HOW TO
PREVENT BLOAT • Some cases might occur despite preventive measures but there are ways to minimize the threat.
• Try giving your dog smaller portions of food throughout the day instead of large meals.
• Don’t take your dog on a run or allow them to exercise immediately after a meal.
• Give your dog, food that is in a bowl placed on the floor to prevent bloating.
• Ensure your dog is eating a high-quality, balanced diet to prevent digestive issues.
