apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

There is a type of elevated dog dish that stores extra food inside it, a nice little dual purposing that makes it great for smaller living spaces. The only problem is that the one that they sell at Bosley's (Canadian pet supply store) is a particularly ugly plastic in a particularly ugly shade of beige.

I made my own, and it seems to be working grand. Dr. Watson, my golden retriever puppy, loves it! I just used an old wine crate and a jigsaw (I believe I saw this idea here somewhere...). Just flip the crate over, and saw a hole in the bottom so your dish is supended. With a puppy who loves to make puddles, this was a life saver!

i have the same dog feeder. my only complaint is that my dog goes through water like hes on fire. i swear, by the end of the day, ive filled that sucker up at least 3 to 4 times.

Other stores also have stainless raised dishes in a stainless frame . . . I have one for my pit mix and it works great. It's healthier for them to be assisted by gravity when swallowing, instead of having their heads almost upside down to eat from the floor.
