Elevated dog dishes and bowls are good for dogs that experience back problems, arthritis and other physical difficulties.
Things to consider: Health conditions, and avoiding water damage.
Pain-Free Eating - Elevated dog dishes and bowls are designed to alleviate pressure on the neck, spine, and legs that is caused by leaning down to eat. While this is usually something used by owners of old or infirm (i.e. arthritic) dogs, starting your dog on elevated dishes and bowls when they are young can prevent an uncomfortable and abbreviated old age. Elevated dog dishes and bowls are the perfect way to serve your large breed dog.
No Damage - When a dog takes a drink of water, he will usually lift his head up and tilt it back to help him swallow. This will often result in water dribbling down the dog's throat and onto the floor. This moisture can seep into cracks and under the dishes and bowls and, over time, foster mold and ruin your floors. To help prevent this from happening, use only dog dishes and bowls that are elevated.
