Dog eating in her chair

This is Bella. She was diagnosed with congenital megaesophagus soon after she was found at 4 months old. Megaesophagus means that her esophagus is enlarged and lacks the muscle mobility to swallow food while horizontal. This is her "Baileys Chair," which she needs sit in while eating and for 10 minutes after she eats. She eats soft dog food with a little water mixed in. She is now 7 months old and doing great.

i wouldnt say there feeding her slop, soft dog food can range from a number of indeed very cheap stuff to the more expensive.

It's actually very common advice given to dog owners to vets if asked the correct way a dog should eat. The dog bowl should be about 1/3 - 1/2 the dogs head height off the ground to make it easier for them to swallow ( ever tried eatting when your head is lower than your throat? extremely weird

Sweet. But its Christmas... should have used some eggnog instead of water to soften the food.
