Classic Extra Tall 300

An elevated bowl height of 30cm (roughly 12 inches) is designed for large, broad-chested, or long-legged dog breeds standing approximately 60cm to 70cm (24 to 28 inches) tall at the shoulder.

At 30cm high, the feeder meets the dog right at the lower chest level. This allows big dogs to keep their weight evenly distributed across all four paws instead of shifting heavy front-body weight onto their elbows, wrists, and neck joints.

Here are the primary categories and breeds that benefit most from a 30cm elevation:

1. Large Athletic & Working Breeds

These tall, deep-chested dogs often suffer from joint wear or bloat/torsion risks if forced to crouch or gulp food from the ground. A 30cm elevation keeps their neck aligned with their spine and promotes an even, relaxed eating pace.

• Golden Retrievers (Adults)
• Labrador Retrievers (Taller/larger adults)
• German Shepherd Dogs
• Boxers (Larger males)
• Doberman Pinschers (Smaller/medium adults)
• Belgian Malinois

2. Large Sighthounds & Deep-Chested Field Breeds

Because of their extreme leg-to-torso length, these breeds have to spread their front legs wide ("giraffe stance") to reach a floor bowl. Raising the dish to 30cm supports a natural, upright posture that relieves wrist and shoulder compression.

• Greyhounds
• Lurchers (Large sighthound mixes)
• German Shorthaired Pointers
• Weimaraners
• Vizslas (Larger/taller males)
• Rhodesian Ridgebacks (Smaller/medium females)

3. Heavy-Set & Heavy-Boned Large Breeds

For heavy-bodied breeds, bending all the way down to floor level adds significant strain to the cervical spine and front leg joints. A 30cm stand provides immediate ergonomic relief for daily feeding.

• Rottweilers (Medium/female sizes)
• Bernese Mountain Dogs (Smaller/female sizes)
• Old English Sheepdogs
• Flat-Coated Retrievers
• Chesapeake Bay Retrievers
  

Sizing Check: Measure your dog from the floor up to the base of their chest while they are standing. If that measurement lands between 28cm and 32cm, a 30cm elevated stand will give them an effortless, strain-free feeding position.
