What the hell does flip their stomach mean?
My dog always runs around the park and then drinks from the creek and he's fine.

Dogs have the instinct for survival. As Dave said, they drink when they are thirsty. I have never seen a dog sit and take a break before hitting the watering hole. hahahaha....Originally Posted by hops_88

Dogs have a ****ing high amount of endurance. If they're thirsty, they'll drink. If they're too tired, they'll slow down.
It's not rocket science.

Its, don't feed your dog and then take them running. This only applies to larger dogs. If the dog comes home and chugs some water don't feed them immediately either. A lot of water in the stomach mixed with our modern day dog food can cause bloat, which increases the chance of stomach flip also.
wut?

It's not good for older dogs to ingest ANYTHING very quickly. This is something they tend to do after they've had a good run by drinking water.

actually a legit question. wrong place for it though. The main thing is you don't want to let the dog drink a bunch of water and then feed it, or overfeed it in general, because bloat can be fatal.
More of a problem in older dogs, in big dogs and breeds that have a deep but narrow chest, like dobermans, great danes and greyhounds, as opposed to more thickly build dogs like pits."What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" ...will probably be my last words

this thread has not helped my body building in any shape or form...
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
