What Kind of Feeder?

[1DaneinItaly]

For all those who use raised feeders, what type of systems do you use?
DiNero eats out of a raised feeder that has 2 hoops on either side of a stand so we can raise it as needed. It is now at the top of the post and it wiggles when he eats, which causes him to eat faster and be a little skittish.
We have looked for feeders that go a little higher with really no luck. I think his is a 16 inch (approx) I was interested in finding out what others use. Or suggestions.
Thanks,

plant stand - the wire ones with usually 3 legs, come in
a variety of heights including 27".

elongated tall pot - bowl fits inside pot, heavier & more
expensive and generally not as tall as the wire stands,
but look nice. can also store things in pot if desired.

If you are handy (or know someone who is) - get, or make, a table that's the height you want, and with a jig-saw, cut out holes for the feed dishes to sit into (so they don't move around).
Or secure your current feeder onto a low coffee table, and start off at the height on the feeder that's appropriate.
Just an idea.. ;)

We use a Rubbermaid tub. It's got a lip around the edge to keep the bowls from sliding off. The tub itself holds 2 bags of dog food.

Hi, we cut 2 holes in a piece of shelving. Attached 2 wall brackets to it and put up 2 wall standards. This way it is ajustable and can grow with him.

Thanks all for the great ideas. A very creative bunch! I especially like the plant stand idea.
We are thinking of using 2 bar type stools cutting them to height and then making a "lip" to secure the bowls on the seat parts. He really doesn't like it if the bowls can slide. I was thinking that the stools would also be easy for me to move to clean the floor of the usual array of dog slime and water. My husband is not as handy as he likes to think he is and I thought using the pre-built stools would limit the "construction time."
