Yeah, I know what bloat is and it's more likely to happen with a dry food kibble diet rather than a raw diet.

In a quick search to help back up what I'm talking about, I came across a few websites. This one had a pretty helpful list of how to prevent bloat and I'd have to say I agree with what they say.

"-Do not feed dry food exclusively,
-Feed a high-protein (>30%) diet, particularly of raw meat,
-If feeding dry food, avoid foods that contain fat as one of the first four ingredients
-Reduce carbohydrates as much as possible (e.g., typical in many commercial dog biscuits)
-Feed a high-quality diet (Whole, unprocessed foods are especially beneficial)
-Avoid brewer's yeast, alfalfa, and soybean products"
