If you are having trouble determining the right height for a raised feeder, then you need to take some measurements to see what size feeder will be best for you. A general rule of thumb is to measure the height of the dog at the front shoulders. This is usually the tallest part of the dog. For a large dog, you will want a feeder that is 8-12 inches shorter than this.
