How Do I Select Correct Height for a Dog Feeder ?
Selecting the Correct Height For An Elevated Dog Feeder
Determine the correct position for your dog's food bowl by measuring your standing dog from the floor under the front paws to top of the shoulders and then subtract about 5 inches. Your dog should be able to eat without agressivly lowering her neck or stretching upwards. The top of a dog food bowl at the correct height should be about level with the lower part of your dog's chest.

Benefits of a Raised Dog Food Bowl
- An upright posture, can be more comfortable, especially for larger or arthritic dogs. When dog bowls are placed at a raised height this can provide less strain on your dog's joints, especially helpful for older or arthritic dogs.
- Some studies suggest a elevated pet bowl can make digestition easier.
- Raised dog food bowls may deter rapid eating. Deadly bloat may occur in dogs who eat too fast. Bloat is more common in large, barrel-chested dogs. It also occurs more frequently in male dogs or dogs with relatives who have had bloat. Talk to your veterinarian if you're concerned about your dog's risks.
- Less far for you to bend when filling bowls
- When bowls are closer to pets, your floor may stay cleaner
