BOWL GUIDE

Large breeds need a deep, wide bowl that’s heavy enough not to be tipped or nudged around easily. Taller animals may also benefit from an elevated feeder.

Small breeds do best with a shallow bowl, so it’s easier for them to reach food at the bottom.

Long-eared breeds should have a narrow bowl that allows them to put their snout inside without their ears falling in.

Older dogs or animals with back or shoulder problems benefit from an elevated feeder that raises the bowls to shoulder height. This prevents painful stooping and avoids gastrointestinal problems caused by incorrect posture.
