Quick Answer
Position the stand on a flat, non-slip surface, place the stainless bowls securely in the openings, and adjust the height to match your dog's chest level for comfortable, hygienic feeding.
Why Use an Elevated Double Bowl Stand?
An elevated dog feeder stand can improve your dog's posture during meals, which may aid digestion and reduce strain on the neck and joints. Keeping bowls off the floor also helps maintain hygiene by minimizing contact with dirt and pests.
The Classic Double Bowl High Stand (370mm) is designed for medium to large breeds, but it's important to ensure the height matches your dog's size. A stand that's too high or too low can cause discomfort, so always measure your dog's chest height before committing to a specific model.
Choosing the Right Location
Place the stand in a quiet, low-traffic area where your dog can eat without distractions. Avoid high-traffic zones or areas with uneven flooring, as the stand needs a stable surface to prevent tipping.
The rubber feet on the Classic stand help keep it in place, but they work best on hard, level floors. If you have carpet, consider placing a non-slip mat underneath for extra stability.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Check the Height: Measure your dog's chest height (from the floor to the top of the chest) and compare it to the stand's height (370mm). The stand should be about level with your dog's lower chest or elbow. If the stand is too high or low, your dog may have to stretch or crouch, which can cause discomfort.
- Position the Stand: Place the stand on a flat, level surface in a quiet area. Ensure the rubber feet are in full contact with the floor to prevent sliding or wobbling. Check that the stand doesn't rock; if it does, move it to a more even spot.
- Insert the Bowls: Place the two stainless steel bowls firmly into the openings on the stand. Make sure they sit flush and don't wobble. A loose bowl can tip over, so give it a gentle press to ensure it's secure.
- Fill and Serve: Fill each bowl with the appropriate amount of food or water. Avoid overfilling, which can cause spills when your dog eats. Monitor your dog's eating habits to adjust portion sizes as needed.
- Clean Regularly: After each meal, remove the bowls and wash them with warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Wipe down the stand with a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Regular cleaning prevents bacterial buildup and keeps the stand looking new.
