Beautiful Furniture, Made for Your Pointer

Found in some of the finest homes and chosen by interior designers, our German Shorthaired Pointer dog bowls are true furniture pieces, not pet supplies. They're made from sculptural wrought iron, architectural steel, gleaming 304 stainless steel and warm solid hardwood. A GSP is an elegant athlete: tireless in the field and a devoted shadow at home. Walnut and mocha tones pair beautifully with a liver coat, and crisp white or brushed stainless suits a ticked or roan dog. Raised dog bowls bring food and water up to your pointer's level. That means less stooping at the neck and front legs, a comfort senior GSPs feel at every meal, and one elegant piece in place of scattered floor dishes.

The Perfect Height for a German Shorthaired Pointer

The top of the stand should sit at your dog's chest midpoint or lower. Adult GSPs stand about 21" – 25" at the shoulder. Between sizes? Choose the shorter stand.

12" Stand, Most GSPs: The sweet spot for most adult males and larger females. Choose from Slate, Pyramid, Moretti, Four Square, Regal, Arbor, Indus, Woodsman, Noor, Southern Maple and outdoor Porchside.
10" – 11" Stand, Smaller Females & Adolescents: Choose from Baron, Henry, Vision, Chariot, Cityline, Pilsen and Libro 11".
Related Pointing Breeds: Vizslas and German Wirehaired Pointers usually fit 10" – 12". Taller Weimaraners often fit 12" – 15", with 15" options in our XL collection. Smaller Brittanys fit our 7" – 8" medium stands.

Designer Style, Built for Sporting Dogs

Grounded and Stable: GSPs do everything at full speed, including dinner. Wrought iron and steel, single-piece construction and no-slip rubber feet keep each stand in place when your pointer comes in hot from the yard.
Hydration for Endurance Athletes: After a run, a hunt or a long day in the field, GSPs drink deeply and quickly. A dedicated raised dog water bowl keeps fresh water at the perfect height, and our waterproof silicone mat, made to fit under our diners, catches every splash. It comes in black or gray.
Quiet, Clean Meals: Noise-free rubber rims keep bowls snug and silent. A raised bowl keeps floor-level fur and debris out of food and water, and stainless steel wipes clean in seconds.
Single or Double: A single stand works beautifully as a raised dog food bowl or a raised dog water bowl. A double diner pairs food and water. For multi-dog sporting homes, a 3 bowl dog feeder like Slate or Baron makes a graceful multiple dog feeding station.
Indoor & Outdoor: For the mudroom door, deck or kennel run, outdoor elevated dog bowls like Libro Outdoor (11"), weatherproof Porchside (12"), Vision, Cityline and Pilsen (10") make a refined outdoor dog feeding station.

The Bowls: Where Quality Really Shows

Every diner comes with removable, high-quality stainless steel dog bowls, up to 3 quarts on our large and XL stands.

Our Signature Bowl (201 Stainless Steel), Included With Nearly Every Diner: 201 is the stainless steel most widely used across the pet bowl industry. Ours are food-safe, heavy-duty and finished with our distinctive rubber rim, which keeps each bowl snug in the stand so it won't slide, spin or clatter.
The Upgrade: Human Food-Grade (304 Stainless Steel): For the ultimate in hygiene and corrosion resistance. Its higher nickel content makes it the same quality used in premium human cookware. It's standard on our Slate diners, a hallmark of NMN Designs, and available as an extra set.

Keep a spare set on hand so a clean bowl is always ready while the other is in the dishwasher. Shop extra 304 bowl sets or extra 201 bowl sets.

Raised Dog Bowls with Slow Feeder

GSPs are deep-chested, high-energy eaters, and eating fast means gulping air. Every diner can be paired with a slow feeder:

Extra Bowl Set with 1 Slow Feed Pad (Most Popular): A removable silicone pad turns a standard bowl into a slow feeder. It comes in 304 and 201 sets.
The "Not-So-Fast" Bowl: A 3-quart, 201 stainless slow feeder made for large dogs. Get it in a one-click large dog slow feeder set or as an add-on.

Quick Facts: Elevated Dog Bowls for German Shorthaired Pointers

How tall should a German Shorthaired Pointer's dog bowl be? Most adult GSPs fit a 12" stand. Smaller females and adolescents often fit 10" – 11". The top of the stand should sit at your dog's chest midpoint or lower.
Are raised dog bowls good for GSPs? Many owners and vets like them because a tall, athletic dog can eat and drink without stooping at the neck and front legs. They're especially helpful for senior GSPs and hard-working field dogs.
Do elevated dog bowls cause bloat in German Shorthaired Pointers? GSPs are a deep-chested breed, so bloat (GDV) is worth knowing about. A widely cited 2000 Purdue study found an association between raised feeders and bloat in large and giant breeds, but no direct cause has been confirmed and the research is mixed. Talk with your vet about the right feeding height for your dog. A slow feed bowl helps pace fast eaters, and many owners also wait a while after hard exercise before feeding.
What are the best elevated dog bowls for German Shorthaired Pointers? A stable stand at your GSP's measured height, usually 12", with removable stainless bowls. Popular picks include Slate (304 stainless), Pyramid and Baron (wrought iron), Moretti (modern steel), Woodsman (hardwood) and Libro Outdoor for the field-to-home transition.
What size bowl does a GSP need? Dogs drink roughly 1 ounce of water per pound each day, which is about 6 – 9 cups for a 45 – 70 lb GSP, and more after exercise. Bowls of 2 – 3 quarts mean fewer refills.
201 vs. 304 stainless steel dog bowls? Both are food-safe, durable stainless steel. 201 is the most common grade in quality pet bowls and comes standard with NMN Designs diners, with a rubber rim to prevent sliding. 304 (human food-grade) is the premium upgrade, standard on Slate, with higher nickel content for extra corrosion resistance.
