MEASURING FOR A RAISED FEEDER

How to Measure Your Dog for a Raised Feeder

The best way to determine the correct raised feeder height for your dog is to measure from the floor to the top of your dog's legs (where the leg meets the body). Ideally, your raised feeder should be positioned at LOW CHEST height on your dog. If there is any doubt, just remember it is always better for a raised feeder to be a bit short, rather than too tall.

Below is a breed based guide that will give you a general idea of the correct height for your dogs breed. But remember, the best way to ensure a proper fit is to measure your dog before buying a dog feeder.
