Elevated Dog Bowls
Kuro Devours Some Of Her Favorite Chicken.
Elevated Dog Bowls are all the rage today. It’s basically feeding your dog a certain height above the ground. The appropriate size and height for elevated bowls will depend on the size and height of your dog. Some stands have cutouts that hold the bowl, some have a platform where you can rest the bowls, some are adjustable, and some have attachments that keep the bowls suspended in air. There are a number of different types of stands, but the outcome is the same—a food and water bowl that’s elevated off the ground.
Easier
It certainly makes it easier for your dog to reach the food, making it more comfortable. Think of it as a regular dining table and bar top dining. The food and water being closer to your dog’s mouth means they don’t have to bend their head down towards the floor to eat. This helps with their posture and eliminates any potential neck pain while they’re eating. Make no mistake, they will eat either way, but this puts less strain on their neck and this would be especially helpful for dogs with mobility issues, arthritis, or joint disorders.
Less Messy
With elevated bowls, because they are not reaching and bobbing their head up and down to eat, that could mean less potential mess with less food or water flying around. With some dogs, as they eat their bowl moves around, this can cause a bit of frustration and definitely create a mess if the bowl topples and spills. This way, it is more secure and that also means a cleaner meal with less for you to clean after.
Size
Your dog’s elevated bowl should be square with their chest. That way, they don’t have to lift their neck up or down to get to their food and water. Measure your dog to get the best height for their bowls. But as a general rule of thumb, a good height for small breeds is between 5 to 16cm. For medium breeds between 18 to 36cm and for larger breeds between 38 and 50cm.

“Poor [Dog’s Name Withheld] has been sick. He’s been suffering from vertigo because of his ear infection. He has vomited for two days and hasn’t eaten since. He is on medication and that is helping to stabalize his condition. He has no appetite. But just wanted to tell you the only thing he’s happy to eat is Tsuna (Tuna) by Kuro Snacks. Just two biscuits. And I am glad he is eating that, even if it’s just two at a time because he has rejected all food. He is slowly recovering.”
