My 10-week puppy gets bloated after eating. Should I be concerned?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 18 days old | 15 lbs

My 10 week old puppy gets bloated every time she eats. It goes down within a couple hours but she has already previously had bloat problems. When taken to the vet she had an x-ray and he said it looked like a bunch of kibble just sitting in her belly. She was on meds for 8 days. Should I be concerned about her still?

Hi !Does Leia eat very quickly ? If so, have you tried feeding her using one of those slow feeding bowls ? It might be an idea. Also she should be on three meals per day at least. If your’re having the same problem with the slow feeder, then maybe consider changing her diet. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !
