Ribbed Wave 160 High Contrast

An elevated bowl height of 16cm (roughly 6.3 inches) hits the ergonomic sweet spot for small-to-medium and medium-sized dogs standing approximately 35cm to 45cm (14 to 18 inches) tall at the shoulder.

At this height, the bowl sits right around the lower chest level, letting the dog eat and drink with a neutral, straight spine rather than hunching down or bending their front legs.

Here are the primary categories and breeds that benefit most from a 16cm elevation:

1. Medium Long-Backed & Low-Rider Breeds

For medium-sized dogs with long spines or short legs, lowering their head all the way to the floor causes significant spinal flexion. Elevating the dish to 16cm keeps their neck aligned with their back, taking pressure off their discs.

• Cardigan Welsh Corgis (Larger adults)
• Standard Dachshunds (Larger/taller standards)
• Basset Hounds (Adults)
• Dandie Dinmont Terriers
• Glen of Imaal Terriers
  

2. Medium Brachycephalic (Flat-Faced) & Deep-Chested Breeds

Elevating the bowl opens up the airway for barrel-chested or short-muzzled medium breeds. It reduces aerophagia (swallowing air while gulping food), aids digestion, and minimizes regurgitation.

• English Bulldogs
• Staffordshire Bull Terriers (Staffies)
• French Bulldogs (Larger, taller males)
• American Bully (Pocket or smaller Classic sizes)
  

3. Medium & Spaniel-Sized Breeds (Healthy Adults)

These dogs are slightly too tall for small 10cm feeders, but standard large-dog elevated stands (25cm+) are far too high. A 16cm feeder offers ideal natural head alignment.

• Cocker Spaniels (English and American)
• Cockerpoos / Sproodles (Medium/standard size)
• Beagles
• Whippets (Smaller adults)
• Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties)
• Basenjis
• Miniature Schnauzers (Larger/standard size
• Tibetan Terriers
