“…A prospective study of n=177 Irish Wolfhounds found that the breed has a GDV incidence of 2.6% per year, 3.6% in males and 1.8% in females (30). This risk increased by approximately 20% per additional year of age.…”

Are Dogs Fed a Kibble-Based Diet More Likely to Experience an Episode of Gastric Dilatation Volvulus Than Dogs Fed an Alternative Diet?

Clinical bottom line:Most of the studies that attempt to either partially or fully address the PICO contain limitations that mean that they should either be rejected as unable to address the PICO or viewed with caution due to potential bias in the population studied. Of the two studies that remain, the findings conflict. One study found dogs fed a diet containing small particles only (<5mm, mainly dry kibble fed dogs) at greater risk of GDV than those fed a diet containing large particles (>30mm, at least partly non-kibble based). The other study found no significant effect of kibble on GDV risk once other potential risk factors were controlled for in the analysis. Consequently, there is insufficient quality evidence to support the claim that feeding a kibble diet is associated with an increased risk of GDV. However, it is worth noting that no studies found that dogs fed a diet that contained no kibble (dry or moistened) were at increased risk of GDV, and the addition of either table scraps, canned food or non-kibble supplements to the dog’s diet reduced the risk in some studies but more research is needed to unpack the implications of this for feeding a kibble diet. <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed" />

“…Specifically speaking, GDV occurs most frequently in the Great Dane, Weimaraner Pointer, German Shepherd, Saint Bernard dog, Gordon and Irish Setter (Glickman et al 1994). It has been stated that dogs with a "happy" temperament are at a lower risk of GDV occurrence (Glickman et al 1997).…”

“…The most threatened by GDV are dogs of large and giant breeds, deep-chested dogs, and old and overweight individuals (Schaible et al 1997;Glickman et al 2000a;Glickman et al 2000b). Specifically speaking, GDV occurs most frequently in the Great Dane, Weimaraner Pointer, German Shepherd, Saint Bernard dog, Gordon and Irish Setter (Glickman et al 1994).…”

Clinical results and complications of preventive laparoscopic assisted gastropexy in 17 dogs: preliminary study

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In terms of GDV prevention, a number of non-surgical measures are recommended. However, the only truly reliable method is gastropexy, most often as part of a surgical treatment of GDV. Gastropexy may be performed preventively either during laparotomy indicated for another reason than GDV, or newly laparoscopically, as independent preventive gastropexy.Preventive laparoscopic assisted gastropexy (PLAG) was performed in 17 patients at the Department of Surgery and Orthopaedics of the Small Animal Clinic at the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno. Clinical results and complications of PLAG were evaluated 3-12 months after surgery.The most frequent clinical finding of PLAG was a skinfold at the site of gastropexy immediately after the surgery (n = 8; 47%), or still on day 12 after the surgery (n = 1; 6%). As for PLAG complications, in one case a seroma formation was found at the site of gastropexy (6%); in two patients iatrogenic perforation of the splenic capsule (12%) occurred, which in one case gave reason to converting laparoscopy into laparotomy (6%). In none of the patients, death, gastropexy failure, GDV development, dehiscence, infection of or haemorrhage from the surgical wound were noted.Laparoscopic assisted gastropexy appears as a reliable and miniinvasive surgical method of GDV prevention and it may be recommended for high-risk breeds of dogs.
