Hi all Swiss lovers :)

I am a first time owner of a Swiss dog. I grew up with 2 of the same breed, but as I am a first time dog-mom myself, I am sometimes concerned about the smallest things. What bothers me the most, is the chance of Stomach torsion, something that a grosser schweizer sennen are more exposed to than other breeds.

I have a wild one. He's 9 months old, and it's difficult to keep him still, especially after a meal. It's said you need the dog to be calm at least 1 hour before, and especially minimum 1 hour after eating.

He jumps and runs around like a complete maniac. How much activity is ok, after and before a meal? I might be too worried, and it stresses me out.
