No, exactly the opposite is true. In an elevated bowl, the dogs have to slow down their eating, and cant gulp as much and take in less air. More and more dog owners are going to this method as it promotes more wisely digestion in the dog.

I haven't heard of that before but I've seen people with bigger dogs, including one I hand-me-down to have, like Great Danes and German Shepards use elevated dog bowls with no problem what-so-ever. Actually I've seen it advance for the dogs since they don't have to lean down so much.

But I'm not 100% sure, you may want to ask a veterinarian on this.

I meditate on either way, there is a danger.
I have chosen to use a raised bowl for my lab for the last 2 years and have not had any problems.
There are other things that are more apt to cause bloat, such as eating latest to heavy exercise.

Depending on the magnitude of your dog the elevated bowl my not only be helpful but necessary. I have Great Danes, it would be more harmful to them to have a low bowl. It should be at a comfortable height for your pooch. She should not have to reach to get to it ( low or important)

I had not heard about the bloating. But the elevated feeding is very piece-goods e freight for their bones and muscles, cause they can eat at head level.
May not be of benefit to tiny dogs, but most dogs get a lot of benefits from not having to incline their head down to floor, each time they eat or drink.

Well, elevated prog bowls have their pros and cons. They can help with some digestion problems, and are easier on the dog's joints, but it has been said that they can expansion the chances of bloat.

But if you're saying that your dog swallows less air with the elevated bowl, then that will decrease the chance of bloat, because bloat is caused by dogs having air in their stomachs that doesn't get released.

The paramount way to prevent bloat is to not let your...

I don't skilled in where you got that information, but I'm pretty sure its wrong. Elevated bowls are actually good, especially for older dogs who customarily have arthritis and bending down may be uncomfortable. You should probably go to the vet to check out the bloating because it may have nothing to do with the location of the bowl.

in reality, just the opposite. less air in the tummy is a good thing, and helps with bloat. I think the benefits far outweight the cons. Although I have never heard of it being "bad" for a dog at all, myself.
