Stop Puppy Mills

Barbara Woodley hoarded more than 300 dogs, only to keep them in deplorable conditions. It took a three-year legal battle, an army of volunteers, and hundreds of very special new owners to save these broken creatures. She was keeping hundreds of dogs in buildings on her four acres. Many of them were confined in open-top wooden boxes or wire crates with no access to fresh air.
Bartfield pulled the cover off a shipping crate and found beetles feeding on six Boston terrier puppies.
These animals were not released outside, so those in the top cages were forced to eliminate onto the ones below. Ammonia fumes and residue from their urine burned their skin, eyes, and genitals. "It was just horrid," Jackson says. "They were either petrified of you or aggressive, or they would fight each other just to get some human contact. It was hard to deal with. All I could think was, 'How in the world did this happen?'"
Dental disease ran so rampant that "their jawbones were actually rotting," Bartfield says. Twenty percent had significant eye problems. Milo, a pug, was permanently blinded by ammonia fumes and had a humped back. Bruce, an emaciated Boston terrier, had cataracts and a scalded underbelly.

Preventive Methods for Bloat In Your Great Dane

Research has confirmed that the structure of deep-chested breeds contributes to their predisposition to bloat. Nevertheless, there are precautions that you can take to reduce the risk.

Feed your dog twice daily rather than one big meal.

Do not exercise your dog for at least one hour before and two hours after she has eaten.
Make certain that your dog is calm and not overly excited while she is eating. It has been proven that nervous or overly excited dogs are more prone to develop bloat.

Add a small portion of moist meat product to your her dry food ration.

Serve her meals and water in an elevated bowl stand, which avoids the dog's craning her neck.

To prevent your dog from gobbling her food too quickly, and thereby swallowing air, put some large (unswallowable) toys into his bowl so that she will have to eat around them. They also make food dishes now with dividers in them, which forces the dog to eat slower.

Never let your dog gulp water.
