    Labradors are reasonably deep chested dogs and there is a school of thought that says you should let them rest after a meal before exercise to avoid Bloat which can be life threatening.

    I don't exercise my dog for half an hour either side of a meal.

    It's definitely best to let them rest after eating.

    Yes definitely. I have a rule of no food at least half an hour before or after exercise.

    I had no idea either. I have so much to learn still! She usually rests are eating in the morning and in the evening, but since I have limited time at lunch, I always walk her a few minutes after she eats. I will starting waiting a little bit.
