Dog Gastropexy
Gastropexy is a surgical procedure that helps prevent gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat. Large and deep-chested dogs are especially at risk for this life-threatening condition.
Why Consider Gastropexy?
- Reduces the risk of stomach twisting (GDV)
- Recommended for breeds prone to bloat (Great Danes, German Shepherds, Boxers, and others)
- Can be performed alongside spay or neuter surgery
- Provides long-term protection with a one-time procedure
If your dog is at risk for bloat, gastropexy can be a lifesaving option.
Benefits of Dog Gastropexy
Gastropexy significantly reduces the likelihood of life-threatening stomach torsion, providing long-term health benefits for your pet. Key advantages of this procedure include:
Prevention of GDV
Reduces the risk of a medical emergency related to gastric torsion.
Lower Emergency Surgery Risks
Preventative gastropexy prevents the need for high-risk emergency surgery in the future.
Quick Recovery Time
When performed electively, dogs typically recover faster compared to emergency GDV surgery.
Peace of Mind
Owners of at-risk breeds can feel more confident in their pet’s long-term health.
