DISASTER! Obelix, 4 months old, found the giant bag of dry food

With giant breeds, it's something you really need to keep in mind. Hulk passed away at only 5 years old from bloat, even though he hadn't been doing anything in particular (no running or playing). For Olaf, we put a routine in place as soon as we got him: food equals a nap for at least 2 hours afterwards. To avoid it taking up his whole day, he only eats in the evening and then it’s straight to strict rest (though I’ve heard that splitting meals into smaller portions helps reduce the risk). With other dogs, you still need to be careful but maybe a bit less so. You wouldn't serve up a full bowl before going for a canicross run, for example. After a large meal of dry food (which expands in the stomach), it’s definitely safer to keep them quiet since their stomach is so full.

Those in the know will be able to give you better advice, but in my opinion, there’s no need to panic – she’ll just end up with a nasty case of indigestion! It is her dry food, after all. If she’s okay tomorrow, then everything’s fine. If not, keep her off her food for 24 hours to give her time to digest that massive meal! 🤣😁
