Which feeder height is right for my dog?
Raised feeders work best when the bowl sits at a comfortable height, not so low that your dog strains their neck downward, and not so high that they have to reach up. A common starting point is to measure your dog's shoulder height while they are standing on a flat surface, then choose a feeder whose height sits a few centimetres below that measurement.
The table below maps shoulder-height ranges to the feeder heights and bowl options we stock. Use it as a guide only, every dog's build and eating posture is different, so it is worth observing your dog at mealtimes and adjusting if needed.
| Dog shoulder height (approx.) | Suggested feeder height | Bowl capacity options |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 25 cm | 90 mm | 330 ml |
| 25 – 30 cm | 100 mm | 330 ml |
| 28 – 33 cm | 105 mm | 330 ml |
| 33 – 40 cm | 120 mm | 330 ml / 900 ml |
| 38 – 48 cm | 150 mm | 330 ml / 900 ml |
| 45 – 53 cm | 160 mm | 330 ml / 900 ml |
| 50 – 60 cm | 180 mm | 330 ml / 900 ml |
| 53 - 63 cm | 200 mm | 900 ml |
| 60 – 72 cm | 250 mm | 900 ml |
| 70 cm and above | 300 mm | 900 ml |
How to measure: Stand your dog on a level surface. Using a tape measure or ruler, measure vertically from the ground to the top of the shoulder blade (withers). Write the number down before you shop.
Bowl capacity: The 330 ml bowl suits most small-to-medium portions. The 900 ml bowl is better suited to larger dogs or owners who prefer to top up less frequently.
If your dog has a medical condition, mobility issue, or has been advised by a vet to use a specific feeding position, please follow your vet's guidance, the table above is a general reference only and does not constitute veterinary advice.
