Raised Feeders For Dogs

I like to use raised feeders for my dogs, gives them easy access to their food and water bowls.  They can really be useful for the older dogs.  I see a variety of raised feeders at pet supply stores and some of them are pretty pricey.  Another downside to many of them is the size of bowl they accomodate; often they are way too small for a big dog. 

You can do it youself; go to your local building supply store and purchase the square or round cement pavers.  They measure about 12 inches and are about 2 inches thick.  The nice thing about using the pavers is you can make them the height you need; they stack nicely on top of one another.  Drill some holes in the top paver and insert a nail or flat topped screw; this hardware will help keep the food bowl in place.
