Choose the correct height for an elevated dog feeder.
1 – The simplest way to pick the correct height for an elevated dog feeder (or dog bowl) is to measure your dog from the floor to his/her lower chest level while standing with his/her front feet directly under him/her (see photo). That measurement is how high your dog feeder should be.
2 – The top of the dog feeder should be at a comfortable level so your dog does not need to reach up or bend down.

So if you have been asking yourself what is the best height of a raised dog feeder for your dog, hopefully these simple steps will help.

What Customers Are Saying.
Liefie absolutely loves her new feeder and so do we! I’m from NY and was thrilled to see the wine distributors’ crate from my home state.
The blue wash is fantastic and the feeding bowls are adorable with their paw prints.
This is a wonderful addition to our home and to Liefie’s new world in Stowe, VT. Many thanks!!
