I've debated back and forth about getting elevated bowls (we don't currently have them). Cincy is a gulper, and she drinks water fromthe firthest corned or the bowl (dont know if she likes to lick the edge, or if that is where she ahs to bend the least).

Bloat has been something that has scared me since I read Greg Louganis's book a few years ago. ( ibeieve it was himthat lost a dog to bloat)...and then I joined PT and read about Anna's Keisha, and now Dale...

Cincy goes through phases that she gets in upset tummy....and some of the things she goes through sounds like potential warning signs of bloat...licking the air, drooling, pacing. But I think they are also sings of un upset tummy. Needless to say, when she has these bouts and I am up all night (they usually happen late in the evening), watching her like a hawk. Knock on wood, she has not had an episode like this since we changed her food.

I may try elevatingthe bowls, with a box ro soething, and see how they react. If they like it, some new bowls may be in order
