We all have seen the race across the floor between your Golden Retriever and his feeding dish. Moreover, while this race is fun to watch it can be quite frustrating for your dog. I have to admit growing up I got a kick out of watching this race that occurred three times a day. Especially since we had, three dogs that all made a mad dash come feeding time. Along with the fact that this can scuff your freshly moped floor. This is a case where an Elevated dog bowl could be helpful.

Many of the modern elevated dog feeders available today though are better designed and are made out of more sturdy materials such as wood or iron. These are easier to use for both you and your pet. Modern styles include more choices in shape and size, materials and volume of food stored. Some can even accommodate up to two dogs eating at the same time, however don't try this at home unless the dogs in question have no problem sharing. In addition, to sturdy design, most new feeders have rubber grips on the feet to prevent slippage across the floor. Many models today include aprons, which help to catch overflow and pads to catch drips. Another nice feature of today's models, which can be set to dispense measured amounts of food or set to dispense food at a specific time. These are good features for controlling the eating habits of health challenged dogs.

Older dogs have a tendency to develop arthritic conditions, and other mobility issues, making eating difficult.

Some styles even have stands, which raise the feeder up even more for much larger dogs and provide additional storage options or convenience features in the additional space. If the model you choose does not have a "Tall Stand" option, you can usually find a "Tall Stand" at your store, which you bought your feeder from, which should work pretty well.

Feeders now offer a much wider range of choices to complement the interior decor of your home. Asian themed kitchens might welcome a feeder made from bamboo. A modern sleek kitchen with lots of chrome and steel might be better served with a feeder made form wire or glass.

Aside from the issues of neatness and comfort, there are the other issues which elevated feeders can assist in addressing, which are far more serious.
