A new study on Bloat was published this year:
(short excerpt)
"Gastric Dilation-Volvulus (GDV), often referred to as bloat, is a serious
danger affecting large breed and giant breed dogs. Now, a study published in
the January/February 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Animal Hospital
Association (JAAHA) shows that the feeding of vegetable-based ingredients in
these dogs does not increase their risk of developing GDV.
....An additional finding of the study was the discovery that dry foods that
list fats or oils among the predominant ingredients can trigger a higher
incidence of GDV in high-risk dogs. Foods containing an oil or fat ingredient,
such as sunflower oil or animal fat, among the first four ingredients were
associated with a 2.4-fold increased risk of GDV. "
