Brachycephalic dog breeds are one of the dog breeds with abnormalities from birth. As a brachycephalic dog owner, you should be aware about the potential health risks and concerns associated with these breeds.

The flattened face provides these dogs with an adorable and unique appearance; however, it comes with a cost. One of the common issues relating to brachycephalic dogs are the difficulty in eating. Unlike other dog breeds, brachycephalic dogs find it difficult to eat from regular bowls or plates.

The smashed-in face of short nosed dog breeds makes it difficult for them to scoop the food out of the respective bowls. In addition to the weird structure of their face, the breathing difficulty also adds to the trouble in scooping the food into the mouth. In the struggle to guzzle down the food from the right bowls, brachycephalic dogs can also end up chocking, bloating or vomiting.

Specialist recommended and tried special bowls can always make the difference when feeding short nosed dogs or cats. The custom bowls for brachycephalic dogs are commonly structured in an angle so that the tilted structure contributes to easy feeding.

The tilted structure of the bowl gathers the kibble in one end which makes it easier for the pooch to consume it. Additionally, the structure avoids the necessity of pressing down the face down further into the flat surface thereby supporting easy breathing.
