En zo zijn er nog echt honderden te vinden. Je kunt op google intikken dog bloat of torsion risks raised food bowl.
Op die websites kun je meestal dit lezen:
"Dietary risk factors for bloat (GDV) in dogs were identified using the 1991 dogs from the study. 106 dogs that developed bloat were selected as cases while 212 other dogs from the study were randomly selected as controls. A complete profile of intakes was constructed for each dog based on owner-reported information, published references and nutritional databases.
The study confirmed previous reports of an increased risk of GDV associated with increasing age, having a first-degree relative with GDV and having a raised food bowl. New significant findings included a 2.6 fold (160%) increased risk of GDV in dogs that consumed dry foods containing fat* among the first four ingredients.
The GDV increased 3 fold (200%) in dogs that consumed dry foods containing citric acid* as a preservative. Dry foods containing rendered meat meal with bone product among the first four ingredients significantly decreased GDV risk by 53%. Moistening of dry food alone was not associated with GDV but consumption of owner-moistened dry foods that also contained citric acid significantly increased GDV 4 fold (300%)".

"Risk Factor 1 – Using a raised food bowl: Many manufacturers and pet suppliers are making claims that the raised feeder or dog bowl aids a dog’s digestion and prevents bloat. We have found no scientific research to support these claims. The Glickman et al study found that use of a raised feeder actually increases the risk of bloat by 110%. This risk factor can be eliminated by not feeding dog from a raised food bowl. Dr. Glickman’s data showed that “approximately 20% and 50% of cases of GDV among the large and giant breed dogs, respectively, were attributed to having a raised food bowl.” (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2000;217:1492-1499)".
Maar grotere stukken vlees geef ik ze gewoon zo.
En trouwens wat kikkertjes betreft, dat vinden de honden maar enge beesten. 's Zomers zit er wel eens eentje op het terras, nou daar moeten de honden niks van weten. Voor de katten moeten ze wel uitkijken, maar dat weten ze volgens mij wel.
