   HOWEDY pam,   
      
   Seems STRESS is largely responsible for bloat...   
   IOW, bloat is another SYMPTOM of The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME.   
      
   Most of the "information" abHOWET it is MALARKEY.

   liklihood of bloat, and feedin wet or dry and exercise   
   after meals GOT NUTHIN TO DO WITH IT.   
      
   BWEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHAHAHHAAA!!!
