How elevated dog feeders help alleviate common pet health problems

To understand why elevated dog feeders are a good idea for pet health reasons, try this simple visual exercise.  Imagine if humans ate on their hands and knees.  Would it be easier for you to eat if the dish or bowl was at the level of your face without having to lean down to the floor to reach it?  The answer is 'yes,' of course.  The same principle is what led to elevated dog feeders.  Below are some of the pet health problems that a raised feeder helps.

Elevated dog feeders reduce the effects of the following pet health problems

Canine Bloat

Elevated dog feeders have been proven to prevent a serious, sometimes life-threatening condition known as bloat (gastric dilation).  This pet health problem occurs after animals gulp down food, liquids, and/or air very quickly in large quantities.

Using elevated dog feeders makes eating more comfortable for puppies and dogs, so they don't tend to gulp so much, and the intake of air is greatly reduced.  Bloat causes the stomach to expand and rotate, and this pet health affliction is often fatal if not treated quickly.

Mega Esophagus

Elevated dog feeders also help mitigate the effects of a serious puppy condition called mega esophagus.  This pet health problem causes young puppies to be unable to pass solid foods into their stomachs.

Using elevated dog feeders helps with mild cases of this pet health condition by facilitating gravity's effects.  Food is more likely to fall into stomach if the animal is eating with his head straight or slightly raised.
