Where to find an Elevated Feeder For a Big Dog?

Jun 28, 2007 by undercover rock star | Posted in Dogs

I have a Doberman and a Presa Canario... I am looking for an elevated feeder so that they don't have to strain their necks so much when eating/drinking. Most of the ones I've found so far have been for smaller dogs. I NEED ONE WITH BIG BOWLS FOR BOTH THE WATER AND FOOD! Please direct me to where I might be able to locate one.

Dont use elevated feeders for large deep chested dogs. The research shows that all the cases of gastric torsion studied an elevated food bowl was a contributing factor in 33-66% of the cases. I work with emergency vets and they are in total agreement they saw they cant ignore that data. Do your research on GDV (bloat) you have 2 breeds very prone to the condition.

How to make a cool elevated dog feeder | Sansan Pups

Long agility weekend,even if it was only 2 days running and six runs… not too many pics but hope to tell you all about it on tuesday….hehee, i need to sleep in today!  However, here is something to work on or think about…… an elevated dog feeder.

Mum sorta wants one for me, so i do not  have to lean over to drink or eat.  Since i am not a long legged pup, i do not need a feeder/water station that is too tall.  Mum found this idea on the internet, an idea from Julia Custer Norris [she made it for her pup] and i thought to pass it on to everyone.   Actually found this on the coolest site, of Johann the dog,  How to Raise a Green dog [hmm, not sure i want to really be green green..love my red hair…..fur, but to be good for the environment is good green]

Cool to pass on good tips, so here is a cool one

It’s made from a wine box..and mum sorta collects them, but she uses them to make her tetra bookcase…… hehe, if she ends up with too many, i know she has the basis of a dog feeder, water station……it is soo cool looking.

Being elevated is a good thing too, so i do not have to lean over so far and it is better for my neck and back…bad enough i have to eat on the floor for most of my meals!
