My dog really likes to slide his bowl around the living room and it makes a very big mess for me. How can I get him to stop?

The possibilities are endless!

You should pick the elevated dog bowl for cleaner feeding area. You clean the surface of the feeder table rather than the floor. In addition, the elevated dog bowl can minimize the behavior of dogs that like to splash in their water bowls.

There are plenty of benefits for using elevated bowls for dogs:

• For older dogs, eating from an elevated bowl puts less strain on the joints and hip and allow the dogs to use a more proper posture when eating.
• Elevated bowls are more stable compared to bowls that are on the floor.
• The dog owner doesn't have to bend down as much to fill up the bowl. This can be really beneficial for older people with back problems.
• Elevated bowls allow for better digestion because they minimize the amount of air that dogs swallow when they chew their food.
• Elevated bowls are cleaner compared to bowls that are on the floor. Also, dogs tend to make less mess when drinking out of an elevated bowl compared to ground-level bowls.
• It is recommended by veterinarians for large and old dogs.

The main issue with automatic dog bowls is that they make sure your dog always has food available. This may sound really good, but it can lead your dog to over-eat and gain too much weight. I believe that feeding your dog 2-3 times per day is a better option than free-feeding.

Without a doubt, the most durable type of dog bowl is the stainless steel bowl. They can also be safely washed in the dishwasher, which is a big plus.

I bought my dog a bowl with a rubber ring around the bottom a bit like this one http://www.petstore.com/Loving_Pets_Corp._Silver_Bullet_Stainless_Steel_Dish_Dog_Bowls_Stands-Loving_Pets_Corp.-PE07262-DGBFBS-vi.html. This not only solves the problem of the noise and scratches it also prevented my dog from being able to move it very far.

I have the same problem...this is a work around, not a fix. You need a small flat-head screwdriver. 1. Remove the clear bobbin cover. 2. Make sure the feed dog switch is in the DOWN position. 3. Slide the screwdriver under the feeddogs from inside the bobbin area & lift the feed dogs. 4. While holding the feed dogs in the up position, return the feed dog knob to the up position. You have to do this every time you put the feed dogs down...bummer, but I can find no broken part or adjustment that corrects this. If it's inside the machine body, I don't mess with it... I did take off the bottom plate in the feed dog area..one screw holds it.... there is nothing there to indicate a problem.
