Hi Aleksandra,

I use an elevated food bowl for one of my dogs. Hannah, my 14.5 year old Maltese, has 2 degenerated discs mid spine so elevating her food and water bowls makes it a little easier on her back.

Shasta: I know that dogs in the wild do not eat on tables but if you have a companion animal that has medical issues the kindest thing as their guardians is to make life a little easier on them if you can. Making their life as pain free as possible is part of our responsibility. I’ve never had large dogs but I have known people with large dogs and they say it helps their dogs with the issue of bloat. There is no way to know if dogs die in the wild from bloat because there is no one there to help them. But we are here to help our companion animals.
