Now just about all the information I have read makes this statement but has
no figures to follow. My Actuary son with his skills can not evaluate this
without
a guideline. So does anyone here know the ratio to follow where do you start?
Chest measurement and bloat
"The dogs with the greatest risk of developing bloat have chests that are deep
and narrow.
This can be evaluated by measuring the depth and the width of the chest. Then
the depth
is divided by the width. The depth to- width ratio reflects the amount of room
there is for
stomach movement in the abdomen, behind the ribcage. The higher the result, the
more
room there is for movement. Dogs with more room have a greater risk of
developing bloat."
