To the best of my knowledge, Purdue's study is the only large scale prospective study--ie, not looking at dogs which have already bloated and going backwards from there. The initial idea of the raised dish was based on an educated guess about what might contribute to bloat; it was not based on research. Personally, I'm with Purdue on this. All my college prof pals in the sciences who have looked at the study parameters for me have said it is an excellent study.
