Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Collared this one from another forum . Do an of you fellas use a feed stand for your dogs , so that the bowl is raised off the floor . Rumour has it that it stops the dog "woofing" there food down . Also is supposed to stop em sucking air to stop em bloating . So this evening the Lemmy is going to have his bowl raised for his tea . I'll post my own findings on this one . all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 No, we just let 'em woof it down. We do however have a moody cocker who growls when a dog moves around their bowl, so she gets a telling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_stag88 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 No welding needed, just use a crate, get four or more on it at once. Or if you have one dog, a simple n shaped thing would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Try a plastic milk crate....You know the ones that are put outback of the grocery store.... ....best not to get caught nicking them though..... :*) ....centre the bowl and use a jig saw to cut out the hole.....wprks great and the dog can not tip it over...... :yp: . Keeps your bowl cleaner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 NTTF.. Do you think it makes a difference All i can say is the lemmy looked a lot "easyer" eating his tea . Myself i'm a convert .... but i would like to hear your input . all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 YP: I think raising the bowl does slow the dog down, this is mostly due to the fact that that the neck and throat are on a differant angle. The slower that they eat the less air they swallow wich in turn lessens the chance of them throwing it back up and or bloating....and as I said it keeps the bowl cleaner...if you have a male urinator you will understand this point. I had a bitch that use to eat her food so fast that she would throw up everynight, raised her food dish and she never threw up again....wish someone had told me about it earlier though, what a mess and the smell..... :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
