Raised feeders?

Lucy · #1 15-01-11, 10:22 AM

Hey, just wondering if anyone use these as I'm thinking of getting one but I don't know any one else who has used one. Rowdy is quite tall and it some times look as if he having trouble to eat, although he will still eat as he's very greedy, recently his started to take the biscuits out of the bowl and go to the bottom stair and put it on their to eat, like he's telling me it's too low!

Just wondering if any pros/cons anyone has found out about them x x

Bonnie has one of these. I think its great, there is less mess and she isnt chasing the bowl around the floor lol It was actually my vet who recommended getting one as its easier on her not to be crouched so low to eat and its more comfortable for our woofers to eat from

Is their a particular one? Because to me it seems the steel one (pets at home) could easily get pushed over as mine has no sense of what's around him sometimes when his having a mad half hour!

We bought keira the raised bowls on the stand about 18 months ago and it was one of the best buys ever.
Our vet also reccommended it as it helps with digestion and goes someway eliminating bloat or suchlike.
Easy to clean aluminium bowls and looks tidy.
We even bought the same setup for our daughters GSD and he's much taller than keira, great purchase.

I use this one, Im not sure about others to be honest. I liked the look of this one as its sturdy and easy to clean and haven't had any probs with it

The one shown is a small size, the larger one was around £25

Hi, my Roxy's got one but ive got it so her dishes are still on the floor, i got it because she kept knocking her water over and it now keeps her water dish in place so no worries when im at work

I use the same one as Bonnies Mum, it's great. Veo used to always play in his water bowl and throw it all over the place. Now there is no more mess and he looks much more comfortable when eating.

We bought one from Argos, I think it is great, but after a while it started to swivel round at the bottom and got rusty, as we use it for their water as well.
