I don't know what I've done wrong, but I've had three of the Hooligans bloat 
w/torsion.  
Echo had just finished his supper seconds before he walked into the livingroom 
in distress.  The food didn't have a chance to do anything (kibble, wet food, 
mixed w/water).  Within 10 minutes he looked like he had swallowed a beachball 
- a quick trip to the ER saved his life.

JR bloated w/torsion a couple hours after he ate (kibble, meat, mixed w/broth).

Kelly bloated w/torsion on a 100% completely empty stomach!!!  Barb W. thinks 
SIBO may have triggered this one.

Gayle & the Hooligans!

I feed once a day and feel that if a dog is going to bloat, they will. I think 
primary cause of bloat is hereditary.  I have only had two dogs bloat in almost 
30 years. Mother and son. After talking to the owner of the mom's sire, I was 
told almost everything he sired died of bloat and he lived to be twelve.   Ann

will raid the fridge, garbage and bread box during the night.? Been there, done 
that, LOL!??I do fast the dogs one meal, once or twice a week, depending on 
their hunger level.? I try to do this fasting when I have?AM training sessions 
for the dogs.? They are more food motivated when they are hungry.? I only use 
treats for training, tho my neighbor cheats and sneaks cookies to the dogs 
almost every day, LOL!? ?It really is an individual thing that works best for 
you and your dogs.? They accept routines very quickly so as long as they know 
when they are going to eat, they don't seem to care.

Wondering what the pros and cons are to feeding once per day as opposed to 
twice 
per day, and when people prefer to feed (AM vs PM) and if they do anything like 
biscuits, or whatever, opposite the time when they do feed - thanks in advance 
for any input!!
