Oh thank goodness. Now that I have had two days of guilt (using a raised feeder), there is always someone out there who can make you feel better...........we had a St. Bernard in the late 70's who ate off the floor and ended up surviving a bloat with surgery...I have had the berners with raised food dishes, no problems (knock on wood also).....every time I hear about the raised food dish debate, it makes me crazy....but as of tonight I am still using raised feeders.............
