i need to buy a bowl stand for my deerhound, i can only find one up to 16 inch high, this doesn't seem tall enough to me? anyone got any ideas? know where i could get a taller one?

Wasn't there something about these feeders increasing the risk of bloat? It's not something I am familiar with though so hopefully other board members will be more knowledgeable :)

Deerhounds are so beautiful :)

There is a handy measuring guide here

You can buy basic frame feeders from Luxway up to 21" tall

HTH :)

there was a study by purdue however there has been conflicting studies all along. i use one and it helps them as they do not need to lean down too far and cause a strain on their back.

sam gave me a really good tip of using kitchen bin witha bowl in. cheap and great height.

That's a really helpful link dogs a babe. Thanks!

> conflicting studies

That's true. We use them for young ones as it seems to keep them up on their pasterns better at a time when they are not having a great deal of exercise.

thanks all, excellant link to trendypets feel much more at ease now.
