Shelley J.A. Fritzke Webboard User Reg: 02-03-2003 Posts: 222 Loc: Canada Offline	It would seem that feeding raw significantly reduces the incidence of bloat in most dogs. However, there have been dogs on raw that have bloated. I think there are other factors besides diet (vaccines being a HUGE one for me) that contribute to bloat. Shelley

Bet Miller Webboard User Reg: 08-06-2003 Posts: 32 Loc: Offline	So in your opinion (there seems to be a lot of controversy on this subject in the sources I've found)what other factors contribute to bloat??

Lee Baragona Webboard User Reg: 03-29-2002 Posts: 926 Loc: Offline	Abstract summary from Journal of the Am Vet. Med. Assoc.: Cumulative incidence of GDV (bloat) during the study was 6% for large breed and giant breed dogs. Factors significantly associated with an increased risk of GDV were increasing age, having a first-degree relative with a history of GDV, having a faster speed of eating, and having a raised feeding bowl. Approximately 20 and 52% of cases of GDV among the large breed and giant breed dogs, respectively, were attributed to having a raised feed bowl. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2000;217:1492–1499)
