Any Q

If you think your dog has overeaten and is suffering from canine bloat, you should seek vet care immediately. Try to prevent overeating in the future by splitting up meals and using a slow feeder dog bowl to help keep your dog from wolfing his food down too quickly.


What relieves bloating fast for dogs?

I recommend all large breed and giant breed dog owners keep simethicone on hand for an emergency home treatment for bloat. Depending on the size of your dog, you may want to give 2-4 180mg capsules or a chewable form of simethicone. Another option is a product called Bloat Buster, which is a liquid form of simethicone.

Can dogs get bloated from eating too much?

Bloat occurs when a dog's stomach is filled with too much food, liquid, or gas, causing the stomach to expand. Typically this poses no real problem since dogs have mechanisms to relieve this pressure naturally. You've undoubtedly heard, seen, or smelled the effects of a dog that ate his food too fast.

What should I do if my dog ate way too much food?

It is still important to contact your veterinarian or after-hours emergency hospital if you think your dog has ingested a large amount of food or treats. Prompt advice and treatment from a veterinarian can make this condition treatable and provide your dog with quick relief.

Can food bloat in dogs resolve itself?

This simple bloating can occur on its own and may resolve on its own. According to Maureen Luschini, VMD, DACVECC, a board-certified specialist in veterinary emergency and critical care, bloat without twisting can still be life threatening but risk depends on the severity and duration.
