PET FEEDER FOR YOUR AGING DOG



Do you have an aging doggie who needs a little assist here and there these days?  My little Yoshi is 15 and slowing down. We decided he needed to have his bowls a little higher for comfort.  First I ordered one on the internet. When it arrived he could have slept in it. It was returned.

 So I decided to see what I could create.  I stopped in at Hobby Lobby and picked up a plastic basket. I turned it upside down and pasted a layer of hobby foam on the bottom. You could also use the skid proof shelf lining, but I thought this would be harder to clean.  I trimmed the foam to fit into the ridge on the bottom of the basket and then glued it down.  The final product was perfect! I put it on his dinner mat to prevent slipping on the tile floor, and presto! It was the perfect height and my little man seems to love it.  Total cost, $7.95 ( I went for the high end basket) but I'm sure you can get one for $1 at the Dollar Store!  Size the basket for your dog's height. This one is 5" tall, but you can find any size and accommodate your pet's favorite bowls.
