Bloat is very scary and deadly. I have been through it and may I give you a few tips no water before going out to play no water when you come back for 10-20 minutes then room temperature water. Broad chested and giant breeds are more prone to bloat. I'm not sure how tall your dogs will be but I used elevated dishes so when they eat they are not leaning over and taking in more air. Also after eating wait about 20 minutes then take them out. Read up on it I have a couple of good links I will find them and post them. Don't get freaked out about it a few things will help to avoid it and educate yourself and it will be fine. Clark is a water hog too and other than psychotic he is fine but I agree leave the water down all the time.
