This is driving me nuts! I have a big water bowl for Fozzy Bear on the floor. But I cannot leave it on the floor because if I do, the two front paws go right into it and Fozzy begins digging - in the bowl. If I put a small bowl on the floor, I am constantly filling it up. If I put the water in an elevated dish, he tips it over. Has your dood ever done this, and if so, has he grown out of it??? He also tries to dig through our kitchen floor!
I have been looking for an elevated dog bowl so Samantha doesn't have to have her neck like a giraffe nibbling the ground while she is eating. There are those that are desinged like a pedestal - if it is wide and heavy enough, FB can't knock it over. The negative side, not cheap.
I love Samantha but spending $150.00 2 dog bowl pedestals is just not going to happen so I have been trying to be creative to get the job done - a planter or a plant stand???? Still thinking while typing. Maybe a footed plant pot filled with rocks so it can't be toppled over? decorative, inexpensive and it works!?!?!?!? Hmph - I think I just may do this myself. I will take her bowl with me to find one that fits. What do you think??
I have one that is kinda ugly, but it isn't so huge as most of the other elevated feeders. I got it for my senior GR. He loves it, and he has never tipped it over, just my clumsy pup. I got it at Petsmart $30.
I bought an elevated bowl through Costco online. It was only about 75.00, has large bowls, and a drawer underneath that I keep their leashes and extra collars in.
I also have elevated food bowls for Phoebe--we got ours at Petco. Phoebe has no interest in the bowls or water but she LOVES to 'dig' on our hard wood floors before lying down. It is driving me crazy--she looks like a crazed lunatic, frantically digging on the floor. I really need to videotape it as it is hilarious!
It said that it was back ordered indefinitely - don't know when the back order began. I am going to look somewhere else. I LOVE the large size. We have used the small travel bowls for years and sometimes they are hard to find and other times easy. I have never seen the 1/2 gallon size though. It would be so great for keeping the ears from drooping in the water so much.
