What is the ideal height?
The reference we use to choose the feeding height is the dog’s “armpit” (shoulder height).
Benefits of elevated bowls:
They promote a more comfortable and natural posture. A proper posture while eating supports the entire digestive process.
- Helps prevent stomach torsion. When eating from the floor, the digestive tract is curved and the stomach is exposed to significant pressure and compression.
- Highly recommended for dogs diagnosed with megaesophagus or those with spinal issues.
- Important for both food and water — when eating from the floor, dogs often choke, cough, or gag.
