Measuring for feeders

1. How do I measure my pet for an elevated dog feeder?

Determine the correct position for your dog's food bowl by measuring your standing dog from the floor under the front paws to the top of the shoulders and then subtract about 5-6 inches. 

Side note... if your dog is like ours and drinks water like they are bobbing for apples, please clean up any splashed water. If your feeder top is wood, it is stained with several clear coats for protection. However, wood can be damaged by water. 

If your feeder top is a solid color or our "wood-look" it is water resistant.

Feeder bodies are made of the same material as our cabinets, thermally fused laminate, and can be cleaned with.

If your drawer front is the Modern style drawer front, it can be cleaned with cleaner. Please see the instructions on cleaning here:

If your drawer front is the Farmhouse style front, please clean it with a soft, damp cloth only.

2. What are the hole sizes in your elevated feeders? Can I use my own bowl?

Our elevated feeders have a hole size of 7 5/16 for the 2-quart bowls and 9 inches for the 3 quarts. Two bowl feeders come with 2-quart bowls. The 2-quart bowls hold 4 cups of dry food. Three bowl feeders come with two 2-quart bowls and one 3-quart bowl in the center for water.

You are welcomed to switch out your bowls once they arrive at your home. Just use the measurements provided to ensure they will fit. We are not able to change the hole size. 

3. How high should the bowls be for cats?

When it comes to raised feeders, cats are a little different. They would rather eat crouched than standing up. According to the experts at Animal Wellness Magazine, “The ideal height for a raised feeder is the cat’s knee height (approximately 4” to 6”); this eliminates the need to lift up the head while eating or drinking.”
