Bloating | Bloat: Do Poodles Burp?

Posted on by

(in response to an email)

Thank you for your email. Burping means gas build up. Not good because it can lead to Bloat which can be fatal.

Things that help to prevent Bloating are:

  1. No Exercise 1 hour before or after meals
  2. NO feeding or watering out of elevated bowls
  3. Feeding only highly digestible foods that your dog is not allergic to like Raw Green Tripe
  4. No grains in food
  5. Feeding a number of small meals instead of one big meal
  6. No “Free Feeding’ – (having food available at any given time)
  7. Chiropractic adjustments
  8. Prairie Paste – 3 tubes, double dose 4 times per day until gone.
  9. After Prairie Paste treatment is completed add double dose of Critter Corral to food with each meal.
  10. Do not let your dog bark for long durations of time. They swallow air and this can blow up the belly and cause bloat.
  11. If dog is very thirsty only allow small amounts of water at 10 minute intervals. Never allow them to drink in excess, particularly if feeding kibble which can bulk up and cause bloat and torsion (can lead to a quick death).
  12. Purchase a Bloat Kit to fend off torsion on the way to your emergency treatment facility. We can provide this to you on special order.

Hope all this gives you some good information to work with.
Take care.

Our New Website

Posted on by

You may have noticed that our website has had a makeover. After several years with our blue layout, we thought it was time to modernize a bit and present ourselves with a nice blogging setup.

You may still land on a “blue page” or two here and there, but fret not, you’re still at home on Poodle Dog!

All of the pages and articles that were on the site before are still here, but reformatted for the new site. We feel that this new setup will be more user-friendly and much easier to navigate.

Some of the new features are:

  • A better Search Tool – to make it easy to find the topics you’re looking for (upper right-hand corner)
  • Easy-to-find Links to our online stores and sister sites
  • Quick access to the best Poodle Supplies, which links instantly to our sister sites The Poodle Supply Shop and Admiration Wellness Products
  • Resources Links (such as AKC & PCA)  We admit that they were hard to find before, so now you can’t miss them
  • Blog with Categories topics, complete with RSS feeds links so you can subscribe using your favorite feeds

As I mentioned, all the great Tips on Grooming, Health and Training are still here, but are much easier to find with 2 Navigation bars…across the top of the pages and in the left column.

We hope you enjoy our site and share it with others. We also hope to see you in some of the social networks, such as YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Dogster, not to mention on Jacki’s personal dog blog, Jacki’s Dogs. Be sure to sign up as friends and place your comments!
