Elevated Dog Bowls Buyer's Guide
Adjustability
The first thing to check for is whether or not your elevated dog bowls are adjustable. One with replaceable legs can often grow with your pooch, ensuring that it’s always at the correct height for them. Other models will feature versatile legs that can be positioned in various ways for different heights, making them much more convenient.
Material
The material that your dog feeder is made out of can help ensure that it lasts for a longer time, but it can also determine whether it’s safe for your furry friend to eat from. For example, if there are plastic components to your feeder, you’ll typically want to be sure that they are BPA-free, as plastics with them can contain harmful toxins.
Food Storage
Whether or not your dog's elevated dog bowl comes included with food storage will determine how convenient it is for you to prepare it for supper time. A lot of products will feature sealed food storage that can help prevent your dog's food from spoiling as it sits there. Many products have storage as an optional accessory.
Ease Of Cleaning
Whether or not it’s easy to clean up your dog’s elevated feeder will determine how likely you are to use it, as nobody wants to deal with something that’s a hassle to clean up. The best options will come equipped with removable stainless steel bowls in which you can clean all of the nooks and crannies, where food will tend to fall and get stuck.
Size
When choosing the right sized dog food bowl, you'll want to consider whether your dog is growing, how big they are when fully developed, and if there are other dogs in the house. If you have two dogs of varying sizes, you may be better off getting each one an individual elevated dog feeder to ensure that they are both comfortable.
Build Quality
The final aspect to account for is the build quality of your elevated dog bowls, as a well-made one will likely never need to be replaced. If you don’t have to buy a replacement feeder, you can save some money in the long run. You also won’t have to wait for the new feeder to arrive if the old one never breaks.
