Guest minwalker Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Is 22 inches too high for a 70lb male? Most books say 12-16 inches but we were trying to reuse a shelf with underneath storage for our first ever Greyhound. Appreciate I ate any help on this.

oldrunners Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My Julio uses a 16" feeder. He weighs 77 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johberry Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 We use a 12" feeder for our 70-lb boy. We thought it'd be too low for him, but he seems to be comfortable with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnedBySummer Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 22" sounds way too high to me. Our stand is about 10.5" but the bottom of the bowl is at about 8.5" from the floor. My girl is 68 lbs. Quote Lisa B.

Burpdog Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 With Dobes we would do shoulder height so they stayed up on their feet. Since we don't have to worry about that in our pets, anywhere from 14 to 22" depending on the size of the dog.

Guest minwalker Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thank you all - decided on a nice sturdy tote with recessed top to hold the food bowl and the waterer. About 15" tall and tonight ran a first test with our new grey and worked great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 the 2nd or 3 step of a case of stairs works very well-and so do coffee tables. mind felix who is trying to defy gravity- too lazy to get off the couch at the beach house we stayed at.

GeorgeofNE Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Bear in mind that hounds at the track and in training generally eat out of a bucket or bowl on the floor. There is no actually NEED for elevated feeders, so whatever your dog likes is fine. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

Guest normaandburrell Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 My impression was that elevated feeders help prevent boat. That said, my dog's front legs shake whenever he tries to eat something off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
