Hi - can anyone recommend a particular make of raised feeding bowl which will be stable! and what height should I get - puppy is 5 1/2 months at the moment - thanks Cathy

Don't know about the make but our single stands are 46cm tall so this should be suitable for your puppy right up to adulthood.

If your husband is good with wood, build one! Mine were made like small tables, very sturdy with 2 holes cut out to fit his water and food bowl. It is 18" high. It was decorated and finished nicely but Murphy redesigned it. It is left outside all year round and hasn't rotted at all. It has started to go a bit green on top and could do with a new top, which is a 2 minute makeover, well it is 4 years old nearly, but hey, it didn't cost a penny! all the wood was in my Mums shed!

Hi, my deerhound & deerhound cross, both have a twin feeding stand. You can get them from Argos, e-bay, or most pet shops. Go for the largest one available which will have the largest bowls. One bowl can be used for water & the other for food. The height of the bowls can be adjusted quite simply & so they can be raised to suit as your puppy grows. I suggest that the height should be approx the same height as your dogs back thus your dog will neither be stretching up or stooping down to drink or eat. Best of luck & have fun with your pup.

Hi and welcome to the site I like the photo of your dogs and especially like the fawn D/H X

Nice hounds welcome to the site. I started with lurchers before I had DHs. I got my twin feeding bowl stand from the greyhound rescue. You can by them on line.

thank you - lovely dog - looks rather like ours with the blaze on the chest and still a young one?
