My dog drinks a lot of water after eating. Is it too much? Bloat?

Question

How much water can a dog drink right after eating? My dog has about 1 cup of dry food in the morning and 1 cup of dry in the afternoon. I think she probably drank atleast a cup after eating. Is that too much? Would that cause bloat? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 40 lbs

This amount of water does not seem abnormal. The best thing that you can do to prevent bloat aside from feeding two smaller meals a day, which you are already doing, is to avoid heavy exercise for two hours after meal time. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
