In this article, we will tell you how you can build a dog bar yourself from a wine box. A raised food bowl stand can make it easier for your darling to eat because the spine is not stressed. Furthermore, these are very helpful if your dog suffers from a megaesophagus. With this disease, the oesophagus becomes dilated and there is a risk that the food will not get into the stomach, but will get stuck in the oesophagus. For this reason, a raised food bowl stand is clearly an advantage in this case.
Materials for your Food Bowl Stand+
You need the following materials to build a dog bar yourself:
- wine box
- 2 feeding bowls
Additionally is required
- saw
- drilling machine
- pencil
Important: When choosing the wine box, the size of your own dog should be taken into account!
Building Instructions
With these brief instructions, you can quickly, easily and, above all, cheaply build a dog bar for your darling. First, the food bowls must be placed on the back of the wine box. In this case, they must be placed upside down. Next, the feeding bowls need to be circled with a pencil.
It is important that a second circle is drawn inside the circles, as the inner circles have to be sawn out. The inner circles should be just an inch or two from the other line. The outer circles ensure that the feeding bowls remain stable in the holes since there are no supporting surfaces.
Now some holes can be drilled along the lines to make it easier to saw out with the saw. If pencil lines are still visible, they can simply be erased. Now just put the bowls in and you’re done!
