Romeo

Travis,

Out of curiousity, can I ask what diet you have Romeo on? I know that "bloat" is common in large chested dog's. Of course, I make sure that we DO NOT play with him or exercise him after meals ... but, this is one my biggest fears with my boy.

Suggestions?

Sebastian...
I feed Romeo Iams Large Breed 1-year +. Also when I first got him I bought a raised feeding stand to combat the bloat issue. I have never had any problems with it so far. I also do not exercise him right after he eats, but have heard that you should at least give them 30 minutes before you do anything (exercise/playing). The only thing that happens with romeo is that if he drinks too much water after playing, sometimes he vomits a little water up. But that is pretty normal for most any living creature. When hiking or doing anything that is really tiring, he doesn't eat much. Oh, how many cups of food do you give your DDB per meal? Romeo gets 3-4 cups twice a day, that seems to be a good amount as far as keeping him fit and trim!! :) -Travis

Romeo, you sure are a handsome baby boy with lovely big feet to grow into.
I wonder if your owner will ever get you a French Mastiff lady-friend called La Belle Juliet?
Have a wonderful time being a very famous pooch as Dog of the Day. I hope we see more pics of you as you get older (& even bigger!).

It's funny that you mention a lady friend for Romeo. I almost got a female DDB that grew up with Romeo, her name was Liz though!! I think it would be so great for him to have a girlfriend named Juliet....

I seen your picture yesterday, but didn't have time to write a proper post!

What can I say, I love your breed, I love your looks, and I'm sure if I were to meet you, I'd love you too:D I'm so glad that you (Travis have come to Pet Talk-Welcome:) and showed us some new pictures of Romeo, they are absolutely wonderful, and bring a big smile to my face! I hope you two decide to stay here, and keep us updated on Romeo, it would be a pleasure seeing & hearing about him!
I hope your special day was fun!

This is one of my fav. pictures of Romeo:) He is so cute!

I hope Romeo doesn't mind getting kisses, because that face is just too precious (more lip prints on the monitor). And what a dear personality he has as well. Thanks for sharing the additional pictures and it is a special treat for us to hear more from the family. Sorry I missed posting on Romeo's big day, as you can see there was no way I could resist this LOVER!
