Is any good to use elevated dog feeder?
Going to adopt a Kuvasz which will be huge in size. My friend advised me to use elevated dog feeder (preferably an adjustable one, so that it can be moved up as the puppy grows) it would help so that the dog does not have to bend down to eat and drink (by the time a Kuvasz is full grown, they have to bend down pretty far regarding their size) It’s easier for the dog and it helps them keep a good posture. But some articles say, "Don't use elevated dog feeder!"
 Any experience, comments, ideas........Thanks.

works great for my dog.
i just turned one of those big tupperware bins i moved with into one. cash seems like he has a much easier time drinking and eating. he used to get all hunched over to do it, looked pretty uncomfortable.

A lot of people used to say using an elevated bowl was better for giant and large breeds because of their problems with bloat,the newer studies are showing that it could contribute to it.I wouldn't use elevated bowls unless there was a problem that made it so the dog couldn't eat from a bowl at ground level,which is a more natural position.Just my opinion though

We use an elevated bowl for our GSD.
