We were also told that bloat can have nothing to do with food. It can be from stress alone, water, running, jumping and yes eating too fast and running/jumping. I am sure you know, but we did not. =)

It also seams like it could be somewhat inherited. Some dogs get it and others never see the problem. Not sure, but its a scary thing.
