What Are the Benefits
of a Raised Dog Feeder?
 Using a raised dog
feeder reduces the air your dog ingests while eating and drinking.
This in turn helps avoid stomach bloat which is the second leading
cause of death in dogs.
“In bloat (dilatation), due to a number of different and sometimes
unknown reasons, the stomach fills up with air and puts pressure on
the other organs and diaphragm. The pressure on the diaphragm makes
it difficult for the dog to breathe. The air-filled stomach also
compresses large veins in the abdomen, thus preventing blood from
returning to the heart. Filled with air, the stomach can easily
rotate on itself, thus pinching off its blood supply. Once this
rotation (volvulus) occurs and the blood supply is cut off, the
stomach begins to die and the entire blood supply is disrupted and
the animal’s condition begins to deteriorate very rapidly. ”

 Secondly, it allows our
dogs to eat at a more natural level which reduces the strain on the
neck, back muscles, and joints. The height from these feeders
allows a dog to stand more naturally, eliminating the need for dogs
to crouch down. This is especially beneficial for larger dogs,
seniors or dog with arthritis.
When looking for a
raised dog feeder
you should also take into account the physical build of your dog.
If your dog has long flowing hair or ears such as an afghan you
might consider a dog feeder with one bowl to allow their hair to
flow over the edges. If your dog has a short muzzle such as a
boston terrier or pug you might consider a dog feeder that has a
bowl that isn’t too deep, but instead wider to help them with
eating.
 Lastly, a
raised dog feeder
will keep their eating area cleaner. At
Defining Designs
you can purchase a custom made feeder in your choice of height,
color, dog embellishments, number of bowls, etc. Each one is
handmade with stained glass that has been ground on the sides to
prevent sharp edges, gems, etc. They are not only beautiful and
enhance your home, but they are also healthier for your dog.
Whether you have show dogs, are a celebrity that lavishes your pets,
or someone who has a rescue dog, these
raised dog feeders
would be a great addition to your home.
