Megaesophagus in Dogs

Posted 1st August 2025

Megaesophagus in Dogs - a useful tool.

There is a condition called Megaesophagus in dogs and which is quite common in Golden Retrievers resulting in food constantly being regurgitated.

Please look up this serious condition for more details than we can provide here.  

A friend of ours recently had to have her Golden helped with this problem and the vet recommended using The Bailey Chair to  keep  Molly upright during eating and for up to an hour after each meal. My friend says it works well, Polly adapted to it quite easily and has settled into the routine. The family now have peace of mind for each feeding occasion.
