Pet owners typically serve food to dogs on the floor in a plastic, or sometimes metal, bowl. This was never questioned until recently. There are now new designs that have been borne from innovative thoughts about product engineering and artistic design. Pet owners now demand the same kind of lifestyle improvements for their pets that they expect for themselves. Pet product creators are responding to those needs with increased technology.
Ergonomic functionality is now being taken into account for pet products which has resulted in new designs being implemented for everyday products. With this, there is also a demand for pet products to be visually appealing and compliment the design of our home. Pets have responded well, proving to be happier and healthier from the designs that are refined enough to have won awards at industrial, interior and architectural design competitions.
The pet dining table sits firmly at the top of these new designs. They have been designed ergonomically with the designers, working alongside veterinarians, having drawn the conclusion that eating, as well as drinking, from a raised bowl, with an elevated head in a more natural position, improves digestion. They also saw it as being more comfortable for the pet. There is now a large variety of such products available. Some are a basic table or stand with holes to fit the bowls in while others are made using highly sophisticated engineering and materials. A great example is a collection of stainless bowls for dogs and cats. Feeding bowls include a cut-out for the hand that allows the bowl to also act as a food scoop, a non-skid mat which is shaped for the stand, a technologically advanced twin-loop “Booster” for elevation and two runner feet that improves stability when on a flat surface.
Although these new designer bowls are a nice luxury for your pet, the main priority for looking after your pet is always their health. In pet medication there have been major advancements recently, especially for those pets that suffer from Cushing disease. There now is medication such as Vetoryl and Prascend, which is designed especially to treat your pets that suffer from this terrible disease. For pets that have issues with their eyes or ears, a good new medication that will help your pet get rid of these problems is called Optimmune.
As much as we believe our dogs deserve all these fancy gadgets and be sitting with us at our dining table, it is important to first and foremost ensure that they are being given most recent treatments available for any ailments that they may suffer from.
