While GDV can affect any dog, large, deep-chested breeds are at a higher risk. That's why every dog owner, especially those with at-risk breeds, should be aware of the signs and prevention strategies.
Early recognition is critical for a positive outcome. If you notice your dog retching without producing anything, pacing restlessly, drooling excessively, or showing signs of a swollen abdomen, it's a medical emergency. Don't wait—seek veterinary help immediately.
Prevention is a key, and simple changes to your dog's routine can make a big difference. These include breaking up their daily food into smaller, more frequent meals and ensuring they don't engage in strenuous activity right before or after eating.
Stay vigilant and protect your furry family members. Their lives depend on your awareness. ❤️
