There are many reasons to elevate a dog bowl. One is arthritis. Older dogs find eating their food with a raised food bowl to be less pain intensive as they do not have to bend down and thus do not aggravate their arthritis. The eating position becomes more "natural" as it puts less stress on the neck and reduces the chance of other ophthalmologic diseases.It is easier to pick up and refill dog bowls that are elevated. Dog bowls that are elevated are also generally cleaner as less hair, dirt, and dust settles in them since they are elevated off the ground. Plus, on-the-ground bowls generally have a tendency to slide across the floor during the dining process, scattering food everywhere.The elevated food bowl prevents this from happening. This allows owners of all age ranges greater flexibility when cleaning around the feeding bowl and makes the chore less meticulous.Determining the Correct Height for a Pet Feeder - Basically, your pet should be able to eat without extensively lowering their necks or stretching them upwards. The following guide takes dogs and cats as examples:Dog - Measure your standing dog from the floor beneath the front paws up to the top of the shoulders and then subtract approximately 6 inches (15 cm).Cat - The height of a raised feeder should reach the cat's knee height, approximately 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm) is the standard height.Specification:Dimenstion:Top diameter - 6.6 inches (16.8 cm)Bottom diameter - 9 inches (23 cm)Height - 7 inches (17.5 cm)Capacity: 900ML (Up to 31 fl oz, 3.8 US Cups)Weight: 0.93KGColor: BluePackage Content:1 x Stainless Steel Elevated Dog Bowl Feeder up to 31 Fl Oz - Raised Cat Pet Dish with Removable Food Water Holder Anti-tip Rubber Slip Bottom (Blue)
