 Have you heard of a fairy tale where a jackal invited a stork to dinner? The jackal offered food in a plate. The stork was unable to eat because its long beak was unsuited to eating from plates and remained hungry.

Are your sure your pet dog is not facing the same problem that the stork faced? Do you presume that the dog is comfortable eating from bowls just because you are eating from bowls? Get raised dog bowls to enable your pet dog to eat in comfort.

Eating from an ordinary bowl requires the pet dog to bend low and eat in great discomfort. It does not have the ability to use its hands to feed itself. In such a scenario, eating from bowls is not an easy task.

This is the primary reason why dog owners complain that their pet is a messy eater. The fault lies with the dog owner. It is his mistake to feed the dog in ordinary bowls in the first place.

Before domestication, dogs were wild animals which hunted its prey for its food. The prey lay on the ground and the dog ate the prey. This ensured that the dog did not have to bend too low to eat its food.

However, we feed dog in ordinary bowls which, for all practical purposes, requires the dog to eat right from the ground. No wonder the dog finds it difficult to eat out of such bowls.

Raised dog bowls, available in reputed online pet stores, solves multiple problems at once. Some of them are listed below:

a. These bowls enable the pet dog to eat in comfort. The dog need not stoop down to the ground to eat its food. This product is particularly useful for large dogs which find it very painful to eat from ordinary bowls placed on the floor.

b. The raised dog bowls prevents a mess. The dog will not push against the bowl if it is placed at a comfortable height. Further, the raised bowl can be stabilized by placing it against the wall. This helps prevent spillage of food.

c. Raised dog bowls are sturdier than ordinary bowls. It is not easy to knock down a filled raised bowl. On the other hand, pet owners frequently complain that a nudge is sufficient for the ordinary bowl to tip over.

d. Raised bowls consist of a plastic, ceramic or stainless steel bowls place din a stand made of metal, wood or plastic. The bowls are made of good quality materials and will last a long time.

How To Measure Your Dog For An Raised Bowl

Measure the distance from the top of the dog’s shoulder to the ground. Deduct six inches (4 if you have a small dog) and you have the height of your elevated bowl.

These dog bowls are good for the health of your dog. Your arthritic dog may find it difficult to eat if you do not get such a feeder. Get one even if your dog is not arthritic. Remember prevention is always better than cure.
