Our vet recommended tacking Lilie's tum when she was spayed.  Jill had been 
an emergency vet for a long time and saw too many dogs bloat and stomachs 
turn.  No ill effects at all.
When I got Daffodil (4 months), I took her to a different vet simply because 
they are closer and well known in the area.  I asked them to tack her 
stomach and they were surprised but did it.  With them, it probably cost me 
an extra 100 bucks or so - but I wasn't a long term client of theirs, 
either.
For the peace of mind, I would recommend it.  They are in there anyway...and 
although the girls can still bloat, they have a better chance of living 
through it with this precaution.
