I've never heard that it's bad for a dog to eat while lying down - they do it all the time in the wild and dogs regularly chew on bones and toys while lying down.
Sometimes, a very large dog will have trouble reaching a bowl on the floor and raising the bowl a bit higher will make it easier on their joints and help them swallow. Elderly dogs may have the same problem.
It may be more important that they don't eat too fast, or drink a lot of water after eating a large quantity of dry food.
This seems a very odd problem, if your dog is having a problem lying down and eating, give your vet a call.
Using an elevated dog feeder will remedy the problem: If a dog lies down to eat it is because its dog bowl is too low. Many larger dogs tend to behave like this. It is not healthy for a dog to have to bend down to reach its food: They might develop neck and muscle pain.Oh my! We love the Whiner & Diner dog feeder. Our poor rescue Husky had been laying down on the floor to eat because his bowls were not the right height. Your beautiful stand has solved this AND looks amazing.Thank you so very much!
