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.
