We all love dogs but there’s no denying that they can be messy, especially when it comes to eating and drinking.
Not only that, but their dining area can make your kitchen (or wherever you feed them) look untidy, and if they don’t spill or knock over their food and water you can be sure you will at some point.
Not to mention, the effect that having to bend over to eat and drink can have on your precious dog’s neck and back over the long term.
So here’s five simple to make, but fantastic looking and stylish, DIY dog feeding station projects for you.
DIY dog feeding stations
Note that most of these designs feature elevated dog bowls; these can be dangerous for large breed dogs that are at risk of bloat, so you must make sure your dog isn’t such a dog before going ahead and building one of these.
The raised feeders are ideal for small dogs and dogs with back, neck and hip problems.
