Collection: Elevated Dining for German Shepherds & Working Breeds

Orthopedic Wellness Meets Modern Design.

Discover a designer collection of elevated single bowl stands and elevated double bowl feeders meticulously crafted to support the unique stature of German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and athletic deep-chested breeds. Moving beyond utilitarian pet gear, our pieces feature furniture-grade wood, sleek wrought iron, and durable steel, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that blends seamlessly with your home decor.

Tailored Heights for Specific Health Needs

We offer a comprehensive range of heights—10", 12", 15", 18", and 24"—empowering you to select a size that addresses your dog's specific medical considerations. For the German Shepherd, our 15" and 18" models are typically the ideal fit.

• Arthritis & Mobility (Ergonomic Fit): German Shepherds are prone to hip dysplasia and joint issues. Elevated stands minimize the need to splay legs or stoop, providing critical relief for seniors or dogs with spinal stiffness.

• Bloat Concerns (Lower Stands): For owners prioritizing bloat (GDV) prevention, selecting a lower height relative to the dog's size keeps the head lower during meals, a position some experts recommend for deep-chested breeds.

• Customizable Bowl Options:

  • Stainless Steel Grades: Our standard sets feature high-quality 201 series stainless steel bowls. The flagship "Slate" model comes standard with heavy-weight, laboratory-grade 304 Stainless Steel (also available as an upgrade for all other feeder styles).

  • "Not So Fast" Slow Feeders: Select sets feature the specialized "Not So Fast" stainless steel bowl, designed with a raised center obstruction to slow eating speed—a critical safety factor for deep-chested breeds like the GSD.

  • Silicone Solutions: We offer expanded sets that include a silicone slow-feed insert or a removable silicone noise-dampening pad to catch spills and secure the bowl.

Measuring Guide for a Standard Ergonomic Fit:

To ensure modern comfort without over-extending the neck, measure your German Shepherd from the floor to the top of their shoulders (withers) and subtract 6 inches.

• Average Breed Standard: Adult German Shepherds typically measure between 22" and 26" at the withers.

• Example Calculation: If your German Shepherd measures 24" at the shoulder, an 18" stand is the standard ergonomic choice.

• Note: If addressing specific concerns like bloat, you may wish to subtract more than 6 inches (aiming for a 12" or 15" stand) to lower the eating height.
