[nagdu] Elevated bowls

[Abigail Marie Bolling]

My X's dog had problems with eating too fast and choking on her food.
The elevated bowl fixed it so she didn't have to swallow up, the food
would go straight down.
I've heard that if your dog can stand up and have their head bent so
their nose is in the bowl comfortably with no strain on their neck,
then you are fine.
I've had a vet actually suggest putting the bowl on a chair, but
again, you have to make sure, not only that your dog is comfortable,
but that they won't knock the bowl over.
