It's not really common, no. Bloat is mostly a concern with large-extra large breeds. Huskies should only be considered a medium breed, maybe large breed (properly bred huskies that is).

Bloat is caused by excitement or exercise immediately before or after meals, which should honestly be monitored anyway. However, it's not such a dangerous concern for huskies as it would be for a great dane for example.

Tori's spot on, it's not so much a concern with this breed but it's certainly not impossible. ANY dog, regardless of breed, can have bloat but it's not a problem that huskies are prone to. Huskies are a fairly healthy dog with most (but not all) genetic problems being limited to their eyes and hips.

I have a Great Dane and a Siberian Husky. i knew that Danes can get bloat but was never sure about huskies. they have a big yard to play in and i'm always scared one of them will end up with it by the way they run and play together. my Husky is my world and i'll do everything in my power to prevent this from happening. first step is knowing right? thanks for your help!
