I don't know about anyone else but I like the elevated bowls. I have both Prince's bowls elevated in one of those little plastic stands and he seems a lot more comfortable now. He's not all hunched over and it seems to help with his food intake. He used to choke alot and maybe it was from him eating too fast but it's also gotten better since I lifted his bowls up.
Do you have something to drink sitting in front of you 24 hrs per day? I don't think anyone does. It just comes down to common sense. I don't leave water constantly available to puppies unless they are left outside in the kennel run for the day, where they can urinate whenever they need to. When inside I offer it periodically when I see fit otherwise they tend to over drink out of boredom or habit which can interfere with housebreaking. Once they are out of puppyhood I will keep the water down unless I start seeing them drinking it just because it is there. I have noticed that sometimes even my adult dogs drink water out of habit or boredom as well. It won't kill a dog to go a few hours without drinking when they are inside a climate controlled home holding up the couch.
have been considering getting one of these cuz everytime my EB drinks water he walks around in 16413211940 circles and get the water everywhere!!! do you all think this will help with the water hanging from him mouth? we usually have to stop what we are doing while at home just to wipe his mouth.My dogs all drink out of water bottles like the ones made for rodents. The ones that I have are just nozzles that you put on the end of a 2L pop bottle, they lick it to get water. I was having problems with my foster dogs gulping too much water and then puking it all up or knocking water dishes over. I have the water bottles attached to their crates and leave the doors open when they aren't in there, they can go in and drink when they want to and it's hard for them to over drink.
This is similar to one that I have, but the others are just 2L bottles with the attachment on the bottom.
