🐾 Is your furry friend showing signs of GDV? 🚑🐶

GDV, or Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus, is a life-threatening condition that can affect any dog, but it's more commonly seen in large, deep-chested breeds. Watch out for signs like restlessness, pacing, excessive drooling, retching, and a distended abdomen - these could be indicators of GDV.

But fret not! There are steps you can take to prevent it! 💡 Eating two or more meals per day and avoiding exercise after large meals are crucial. Plus, using a slow feeder can work wonders in preventing your pup from gobbling up food too quickly, reducing the risk of GDV.

Stay informed, stay proactive, and keep your furry companion healthy and happy! 🐾
