Feeding your furry best friend should be a happy and stress-free time, but for owners of flat-faced dogs, it can be a frustrating task.
These breeds, like bulldogs, pugs, and boxers, are known for their cute and unique flat faces. They also have different food needs. Because their noses are short, these dogs can't reach food in regular bowls, and this makes them uncomfortable and frustrated and can even cause health problems.
An easy way to solve this problem is to use elevated, tilted bowls. The food and water in these bowls are raised to a reasonable height for dogs with flat faces. But not all tilted bowls are the same, and it's important for your dog's health and happiness that you choose the right one. That's where SpunkyJunky comes in with our 15° Tilted Ceramic Dog Bowl.
Why are Tilted Bowls Good for Flat-Faced Dogs
Before we get into today's star, 15° Tilted Ceramic Dog Bowls, let's talk about why tilting is so important for dogs with flat faces.
Short-nosed dogs are more likely to have health problems when they eat, such as choking, vomiting, and trouble chewing. Because of their unusual physiological structure, they have to put their whole face in the dog bowl to eat, which makes it hard for them to breathe. They may additionally choke on wet food or water.
Elevated, tilted dog bowls make these problems easier to deal with by heightening food and drink. Dogs don't have to bury their head in the bowl because it opens at an angle.
Also, the elevated shape takes the pressure off the dog's neck and shoulders, making it easier for them to eat and drink.
Features of SpunkyJunky's' 15° Tilted Dog Bowls
Now, let's take a closer look at what makes the SpunkyJunky 15° Tilt Ceramic Dog Bowl so unique:
- The Suitable Angle: While no leading experts propose a 15° angle, many veterinarians and pet specialists still recommend an angle between 10° and 20°. 15° is generally considered because it is neither too steep nor too shallow.
- Flexible Placements of Bowl: SpunkyJunky's unique removable angled fittings allow for flexible bowl placement. This allows the bowl set can tilt one bowl for solids and flat for liquids, unlike regular slanted dog bowls.
- High-quality Ceramic Material: The bowl is durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. SpunkyJunky's human-grade, dishwasher- and microwave-safe bowls are made safely.
Customers who have used tilting dog bowls have praised them for promoting healthy feeding habits and decreasing discomfort during meals. "I have two pugs and got them each their bowl," said one of our buyers, 907kyra, "It's so nice having them tilted because, with their flat faces, they were always pushing the kibble around their bowls, having a hard time eating, and then would cause kibble crumbs to stick to their face, resulting in pimples -- which is also nice that their ceramic bowls since pugs are more prone to pimples with plastic bowls. Best dog bowl I ever got for them!"
How to Use and Care for the Tilted Dog Bowls
The SpunkyJunky 15° Tilted Ceramic Dog Bowl is easy to use. First, put the bamboo ball on the stand, then the bowls. Remember to wash the bowl after every meal to keep it clean and stop germs from growing. You can put it in the dishwasher or wash it by hand with warm water and dish soap.
