Bloat in huskies

Bloat or gastric torsion is not common in Siberian Huskies.

There are many theories put forward as to the cause of bloat but there is certainly a breed associated element and, fortunately, it does not arise often in the Siberian. Sensible feeding and exercise regimes are recommended to reduce the possibility of bloat occurring.

Feeding two small meals a day, rather than one big one, restricting exercise immediately after feeding and encouraging dogs to eat more slowly are all suggested.
