I was reading in a newsletter from the Cummings School of Vererinary Medicine at Tufts University that "One study has demonstrated an association between feeding from elevated food bowls and bloat. Putting food and water bowls at floor level may reduce the risk of the disease." It is quite a lengthy article. I was told right from the begining that my dogs should have raised bowls and they have lovely, fancy tables that most of my friends laugh at when they see them eating. How do you folks on the list feed your dogs. Thanks. Yvonne vonmartingsd ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
