[quote=Anonymous]I did it for my standard poodle because they are at high risk for bloat, and my vet recommended it. For your dog, since it's not high risk, no, I wouldn't. Gastropexy prevents the stomach from twisting, which is the life-threatening part of bloat. So while it does not prevent bloat, it can give you more time to get to the vet. Even if your dog has the surgery, you should still take the recommended precautions to prevent bloat. [/quote]
