I hadn't really read about the raised dishes until you brought it to my attention a little closer. See, I was always told that not having raised dishes would cause the bloat. We've never had any problems with our girls having their dishes raised and Destiny's has been raised since she entered our home, and Dakota's has grown with her. I also don't know what to believe. I also need to take the girls to the vet in the next day or two so maybe I'll ask the vet their opinion.

In my opinion, the topic seems to be like the causes of cancer, if you do this, you'll get cancer but the next week you're told the opposite! People don't really seem to know yet so they keep releasing all these reports that stand for nothing. I hope we all know soon, but I'm not lowering the dishes for now because everything I have ever read about Danes say that they need the dishes raised. It's makes more sense to raise them to me though because you don't lower little dogs bowls to make them reach down to get the food so why would it hurt to have big dogs food at the same level to them as it is for a little dogs food being on the floor? I guess that's why I don't think raising them should really hurt them, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
