Elevated Feeder for Dogs: Benefits and When It Makes Sense to Use One

It might seem like a minor detail, but the height at which your dog eats affects their posture at every meal, every day of the year. Here's what changes with an elevated feeder.

What exactly is an elevated feeder

Instead of leaving the bowls on the floor, an elevated feeder raises them to a height designed so the dog doesn't have to lower their neck as much to eat or drink. Our bamboo elevated feeder has adjustable height, to suit both medium and large dogs.

Posture benefits while eating

By reducing the angle the neck has to bend, it encourages a more natural posture during meals, something especially noticeable in large or long-legged dogs. Plus, being further from the floor, it's easier to keep clean and free of dust.

Why bamboo and adjustable height matter

Bamboo is a sturdy, easy-to-clean material, and the removable stainless steel bowls can be taken out to wash separately without moving the whole structure. Adjustable height lets you adapt it as a growing puppy gets bigger.

When does it make the most sense to use one?

It's especially useful for large or long-legged dogs, and in general for any dog that eats too fast, since the raised posture tends to slow down the pace of eating a little. If your dog is small, you can simply adjust it to the lowest height.

Conclusion

It's a simple change with benefits you'll notice day to day. You can see it alongside the rest of our mealtime accessories in our feeding & accessories collection.
