My vet sent this excerpt from a bloat study and I thought you guys might be
interested in it as well....food for thought, anyway...
It's from a study conducted with 85 Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus cases and 194
controls.
"Neither an increasing number of animal-protein ingredients nor an
increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients among the first four
ingredients
significantly influenced GDV risk. An unexpected finding was that dry foods
containing an oil or fat ingredient (e.g., sunflower oil, animal fat) among the
first four ingredients were associated with a significant 2.4-fold increased
risk of GDV. These findings suggest that feeding dry dog foods that list oils
or fats among the first four label ingredients predisposes a high-risk dog to
GDV."
