Re: Raised dog feeders
Good for you we got the plant pots for £3.25 hardly a huge sum and compared with the price of a commercial feeder over £11 each thought it worth mentioning. Not everyone has stuff they can just turn into feeders, my washing up bowl is used for washing up and we don't have spare plant pots so this works for us. But I shan't try to help anyone save money again as obviously they already do it better than me anyway.

...so rather than spend money unnecessarily on a special bowl etc I would use whatever was to hand. I have used a plant pot and even an upturned washing up bowl in the past when injury dictated
Did you see my post 8 Meg? I used an old clay flower pot that fitted her bowl for my oldie, but now use my plastic foot stool. Sometimes if she wants a drink, I just hold the bowl up for her till she's finished. But as I have said, she was 17 in June, and after 2 strokes, she appreciates a bit of extra help.
