Literally, for every story about what causes bloat, they have tested to try to cause bloat using that method. They have not been able to cause bloat. They have concluded that bloat is multifactorial. In other words, no one thing causes bloat. Multiple things have to happen together for bloat to happen. So if you have a bloat prone dog, you should probably take precautions against some of the commonly held beliefs about what causes it, but if your dog isn’t bloat prone, don’t worry about any single supposed cause.
