I raise Saint Bernard's and have never had any trouble with them bloating or having stomach issues. They have beautiful coats and no allergies. They eat a good quality kibble that I soak before feeding.

I however have a new puppy, he is 18 weeks old now from a recent litter. His name is Hercules. He was the runt of the litter and was stepped on by his mom and has a few issues from that, so we kept him. He is growing but not like the other puppies. He however loves his food.

My dogs have always been fed traditional kibble that we soak with a raw meal during the day. Often times I use the Sojos as a topper instead of wet food. Its great for me because I can soak the kibble and use this to mix in.

Last week my first experience with a potential bloat occurred with this puppy. We are not sure if he got into one of the other dogs food, my dogs typically eat rather slowly, but do clean their bowls in about 30 minutes.

At 2 am he was in pain and his tummy was hard as a drum. We did the whole emergency vet and x-rays and there was no torsion. He began expelling the gas on his own and eventually, with a huge vet bill, we went home.

While at the vet she of course asked about his diet. I told her what he was eating and she knew of it but of course tried to tell me that raw food is bad and wanted me to switch to Hills wet or dry food. I declined as I chose not to feed that food. She recommended soaking his food or feeding him canned food.

It was on the way home that we decided that we would make Sojos his primary diet. He loves it, he eats a lot but I find that good food is less expensive than the cheapest vet visit. Especially if it is an emergency visit.

I make enough for 2 days at a time and leave it in the fridge. He knows the container and gets excited every time he sees it, even if its not feeding time.

Since that night he has had less gas and although he gobbles his food down, he has had no nonoccurrence of the bloating issue.

My latest puppy litter, I weaned onto Sojos. They thrived. Healthy and happy puppies that never missed a meal.

The food is wonderful and will be forever in my dogs feeding routine. Its easy to take with you anywhere, they love it and it provides the extra moisture my dogs need living in the desert and being traditionally cold weather dogs. Thanks for making a great product.
