Quick question, I have read that having an elevated bowl helps prevent BLOAT in these dogs, does water also need to be elevated? The reason i'm asking is because the elevated dishes I found are so small, and having to refill that small bowl of water a million times a day would get tiresom I think.
Seeing as how every toilet in my home was emptied of water every time someone left the lid up and mine didn't have a problem with it, I wouldn't be real concerned about that. The biggest issue is keeping them from being active when their stomache is full. I'm not a vet though.
