  • How long should I wait to walk my dog after eating? Vets recommend that you wait at least 2 hours before you walk or exercise your dog after eating. Running and exercise can lead to twisted gut injurie for dogs who over-exert themselves after a meal. Called GDV (gastric dilation-volvulus), it is the medical term for bloating.

Apply similar rules to your dogs: Wait 30 minutes after a walk to feed them and at least an hour after feeding to walk them.

dogs who exercise before or after eating can develop bloat.

Mostly a problem with large breed dogs, bloat is a digestive problem that causes the stomach to blow up like a balloon.

Do not let the dog play or exercise (e.g. go for a walk) for at least two hours after having a meal. Ensure continuous fresh water is available to avoid your pet gulping down a large amount after eating.
