Why Have Your Dog's Bowl Elevated Off The Floor?

Great question.

Let’s explore why you might want to consider an elevated dog bowl for your pet!

Why Does It Matter?

In the past, many original dog breeds were bred for hunting, trapping, fishing, and farming and were not domesticated. These breeds thrived from catching that prize fish or scampering down the trail after a rabbit. Eating on ground level posed no issue for these dogs, and ever since they were created, they’ve thrived and prospered in the wild.

In modern times, dogs have become more domesticated, and there are now over 400 different breeds. Many of these breeds are better as pets or domesticated furry friends and thrive in different conditions than their hunter forefathers. These more modern breeds have different needs, and elevated bowls are a tremendous asset.

Health And Wellness

When a dog bowl is elevated off the ground, it puts the dish on the same level as your pet. This eliminates any stretching and straining your pet might have to do to reach their bowl. It promotes healthy posture, which helps to eliminate indigestion or choking. This is especially important for elderly or chronically ill pets, but is also comfortable for most other pets. For pets who struggle with their food coming back up, these stands can help them eat more comfortably and significantly reduce eating problems.  

Low Maintenance

If you have a super active pup, you might be familiar with cleaning up kibble messes and water puddles. On some days, you may have to locate their dog bowl after they carried it off to some other location. With an elevated dog stand, your dog dishes will remain safe and secure in the stand. It will eliminate mess, and you won’t have to spend time searching any longer.
