A Few Benefits Of Using Elevated Dog Dishes

When it comes to dinnertime for your pet, it can sometimes turn into a sideshow to watch

. Your dog comes into the room and if he comes, running this can usually lead to the food and water bowl being sent flying. This is why an elevated dog bowl feeder is the best choice for your pet. This article is meant to be a guide to the advantages of elevated dog feeders.

Elevated dog feeders come in many styles and are made from many materials. These materials can range from wood and plastic to iron. They also come in single, double and triple feeding units. Most feeders have rubber in their feet this is designed to help prevent slipping while the dog eats.

As dogs tend to age, they have a tendency to develop arthritis, especially in larger dogs. With a normal bowl, the dog has to bend down and in doing so causes more pain in the pet. An elevated feeder raises the bowl off the ground, which helps the dog with the joint issue.

As a dog is bent over eating, they have a natural habit of gulping their food. This gulping can lead to the dog taking in air as they eat, which results in smelly gas later on. In large dogs, it is recommended that a feeder be used as these dogs to be prone to developing bloat which if left untreated can be very life threatening.

Another benefit to the elevated feeder is in dogs that suffer from megaesophagus, which is where a dog's esophagus allows food to pile up. Food pile up can cause the dog to vomit later, which is unpleasant and sad to watch. With an elevated bowl, the dog is in a more natural position, which allows the food to go down more smoothly and preventing any vomiting.

If you have an Asian theme to your kitchen then you may want to look into buying a feeder that is made from bamboo. If your kitchen involves a lot of chrome then a stainless steel feeder is best for you.

Most dog bowls and feeders are designed for just one animal to eat out of. Others out on the market are designed for two, and some models can even accommodate three dogs. Many of these feeders are also designed with fashion in mind they are made to fit into most kitchen settings. They are made of metal and steel and blend into any setting naturally.
