Class: K9 Bloat Update: Myths, facts & prevention
Every handler’s worst nightmare, canine bloat is the number one cause of death for several deep chested and large breeds. Also known as gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV), this condition has several associated risk factors associated with it. In this class we will examine current statistics and available research for working dog breeds and GDV.
You will walk away with the tools to determine your K9’s current risk factors, and how to reduce those based on your situation. You may be surprised to learn that diet type, temperament, weight and anxiety impact risk differently than what is commonly perceived. We will also look at what we don’t know and what to do if you ever encounter bloat with your dog.
