Does your dog drink or eat out of a raised dog bowl? You know, the kind of dog food and water bowls that are elevated off the ground? If not, you may want to read on, as there are three important benefits to raised dog bowls.
First, a raised dog bowl offers increased cleanliness for you! When a dog drinks or eats out of a regular dog bowl (the kind that sits on the floor), they tend to have to lift their head up to swallow. As their lifting their head up, water tends to drip and food tends to drop onto the floor, which means more clean up for you.
Second, a raised dog bowl facilitates improved hygiene. With a regular dog bowl that makes contact with the floor, there's a higher likelihood that mold and bacteria will grow underneath, whereas this is not the case with a raised dog bowl. This means that with a raised dog bowl, your dog is less likely to ingest harmful toxins.
Finally, a raised dog bowl helps senior dogs and those with back and neck pain, by reducing strain since your dog won't have to bend down as far to reach food and water. This helps ensure your dog receives the nutrients that he needs to stay strong and healthy.
