I know the Saint Bernard can experience bloat – what is the best diet and eating schedule to avoid this?
Bloat is caused by dogs eating and drinking too fast. The key to avoiding bloat is by choosing high quality food and then providing your dog several, smaller meals throughout the day instead of one or two large meals. If you notice him gobbling the food too quickly or drinking too fast, take the food/water away for a few minutes to allow him time to slow down.
