Claire has a good one for riley ill ask her where she got it from tommoz. I dont use em tbh they both inhale food rather than eat it so I had to get a sectional bowl to slow them down a bit.

I won't use one, as there was a study into it and it increases the risk of bloat

yes not every dog will have or get bloat, but i'm not increasing the risk of it by using something they don't need in the first place.

It's fair enough if the dog is ill or can't bend down to reach their food, but i did say that in a HEALTHY dog i would never ever recommend one.

Rolling Eyes you mean like bakers, bob martin products, cooked dogs bones, raw hide......

Selling it has nothing to do with how safe or appropriate the product is.

I don't use one, a raised food bowl , I thought, was only used for very large breeds ie the Great Dane as it reduces strain on the neck, legs etc. Mia is raw fed so takes the meat, bones out of her bowl to eat. Would be pointless for me personally.

It's strange. Some reports say that using raised bowls lessens the chance of blost & some say they increase the chances!

I bought one after Dempsey's brush with bloat & he hasn't had a repeat - but maybe he wouldn't have anyway?

It's common sense though really the dog has a raised head so much easier to take in larger amounts of air as they are eating and drinking.

This was discussed recently on a great dane forum and none of them would ever use a raised bowl, they said there was a high correlation of bloat and raised feeders, and a lot of studies debunk others and do say raised bowls are dangerous

We lost my last gsd to bloat at 7yrs not something I would ever forget or want to go through again
Skye gets feed on a small step stool occasionally but usually picks her food out of the bowl
Buster just flings his bowl around so that slows him down lol

My Dobermanns were always fed and watered from bowls on the floor, and they were much longer legged than Staffies . I always thought that bloat could be avoided by excersising before the main meal, and not directly after, which is what I've always done, and after all in the natural state a dog doesn't eat at head height.

Another thing to worry about ....

I think the main thing is to ensure that food isn't given within an hour (at least) either side of exercise. Carnivores generally eat lying down (once the prey is caught & killed) so eating from a bowl is quite alien anyway.
