Exercise particular care during stressful situations. Feed two or three small meals a day, rather than one large meal. Feed the dog at a time when someone is home to observe behavior. Signs that your dog is in discomfort also signal an alarm-anxiety, whining, pacing, groaning, inability to find a comfortable position. Contact a veterinarian immediately.
Time is critical.
Limit water intake after meals, particularly if the dog regularly drinks large quantities of water. Take predisposition shown by particular bloodlines into consideration when planning breeding programs. They are at increased risk. Give your pet a non-stressful atmosphere to enjoy his meal, with no other animal threatening to steal his food. We don't have to furnish piano music and candles - crating can provide the perfect ambiance.
