An Elevated Dog Bowl For Your Dog
An elevated double dog bowl for your dog may be just the answer when it comes to getting it to eat more healthily. Additionally, these devices can provide an easier and more digestively-efficient way for the dog to eat and drink. Studies show that having your pet eat from bowls that are on a higher level helps to lessen the chances of it contracting a condition called bloat. This can be a very serious problem in dogs and is the second leading cause of death in them, after cancer.
The average elevated dog bowl of this type comes in at about 10 inches in overall height. The better units also have stainless steel or ceramic bowls, which are safer for the animal than plastic ones. This is because they don’t become gouged or scratched, like plastic can. These gouges and scratches are perfect breeding grounds for potentially harmful bacteria, most veterinarians say. Ceramic and stainless steel doesn’t suffer from that problem.
Many elevated dog bowls can be manually adjusted for height. They should also be built in a sturdy fashion and have non-skid pads on their leg bottoms to prevent slippage or sliding that may occur when the dog is really going to town on its food. Most bowls in these feeds come in sizes from one pint up to three total quarts.
Bigger or larger dogs – those of fifty or more pounds in weight or nineteen or more inches in height at the shoulder bones area – can benefit from having their own feeding stations. Ones for these sizes of dogs usually run about sixteen inches tall. They’re also constructed with the large dog’s unique ergonomic requirements in mind, which small dogs don’t have.
Tall or elevated feeders can also reduced dogs’ bone, joint, or musculo-skeletal stress through enabling better posture when eating. The cumulative effects of a lifetime of hours spent hunched over eating can combine to impact any dog regardless of outward health. There’s also an elevated feeding station for your small dog or other pet, such as a cat. They, too, can provide a healthy and comfortable feeding position for your animal.
There are feeding stations which alsoprovide for a gravity watering system. In it, an upside down bottle allows water to flow into the pet’s bowl as the water level in the bowl goes down. In this way, fresh and clean liquids are always on tap for your dog or other pet as they drink. Some of these models even come in travel or portable versions, for when you and Spot decide to hit the road for a bit of sightseeing.
And just because your pet isn’t human (at least biologically), that doesn’t mean it has to put up with drab or boring design and style in a feeding unit. They come in a variety styles and materials, from ornate wrought iron all the way over to sleek, futuristic Danish Modern and everything in between. This is more for our esthetic benefit than for the dog’s own benefit, of course, but it’s always nice to have functional, stylish household pet accessories whenever possible.
Truthfully, an elevated feeding station might just be the perfect addition to your dog’s environment. That way, it can have its food and water in a safe, healthful manner each and every single feeding session. And try to always use bowls made of ceramic or stainless steel, if you can. And a self-watering model should also be a consideration when it comes to providing the best for your beloved pet.
