Feed the dogs two or three times daily, rather than once a day, and at times when someone can observe them after they have eaten. Avoid vigorous exercise, excitement and stress one hour before and two hours after feeding. Walking is okay because it helps stimulate normal gastrointestinal function. Feed dogs individually and in a quiet location. Make diet changes gradually over a 3-5 day period.
Ensure water is always available but limit the amount immediately after feeding.
Establish a good relationship with a veterinarian. I would like to thank Siegried Zahn D.V.M. for making the content of this Web Page available for reproduction. This page was last modified January 5, 1996.
