THE RAISED DOG BOWLS

We have always had dogs which meant we needed dog collars, leashs, dog bowls and dog beds. And, to be honest we have never thought much about the dog bowls other than it had to be big enough. Especially when it comes to the dog bowls that hold the water. You want something that holds a lot of water so that you are not constantly refilling the bowls and the dog food bowls needed to be the right size to hold the amount of food that was needed.

Now with our little minature poodle it was an easy task finding the right dog bowls. She was a little dog and all she needed was small bowls. Of course they had to have some style but that is a different story. But now we have German Wirehaired Pointers. They are a middle sized breed and so we purchased medium sized dog bowls for both of our boys. We selected stainless steel dog bowls for both the water and the food. They are easy to clean, light weight and they travel easily with no worries of breaking if they are dropped.



Then came along our little Joey. This is his picture. He was laying down to eat!
Was he lazy? Well of course not. He was tiring us out with all his energy. Why in the world would he lay down and eat like that?

Then I got on the internet and started looking at different dog bowls. I couldn't believe the choices. Different materials, colors and styles. And then I discovered the raised dog bowls. What a wonderful concept. The little dogs like our little miniature poodle would never need to have her dog bowls raised but the German Wirehaired Pointers have long legs and being a medium sized dog having a raised dog bowl would really be helpful whether they are eating or drinking.

Of course I purchased two raised dog bowls. One for Jack and one for Joey. Each raised stand holds two dog bowls, one for water and one for food. The bowls are easy to clean and when we travel the bowls stack inside one another for easy storage.

If you have a medium to large dog and you don't have a raised dog bowl please consider it.
