Doxie’s are said to be exempted from having to crouch too low to get food in its mouth. But I strongly beg to disagree, Doxie’s are like most dogs: prone to bloat, esophagus swelling and indigestion or any muscle strain problems.

Not all Doxies are of average height, give or take an inch or two this makes a whole lot a difference. Just like Goldilocks, choosing elevated pet feeders is an exact science. Too high a feeder discourages the pet, while a far smaller one gets a pet frustrated not being able to reach the food.
Here’s how to measure…

You’ll need a tape measure to the height of your pet at it’s ’shoulder’ while the distance between the both. Make sure your pet’s ears and face doesn’t dip into the bowl, it looks like fun at first yet could let the pet be used to wreaking havoc all the time.

Notice eating habits that will clue you in on the type of feeder your pet is like. A finicky eater needs a bowl of water to alternate with the taste of dog food. A sloppy pet dog can be fed with a pet elevated dish, theses come in table top designs which act as a tray for pet’s bowls to handles spills and scatter of food. Doxies may be amusing and a bundle of energy, keeping them properly nourished is part of our promise to love and serve them forever.
