So when you only feed a dog once or twice a day , as most people do , that's the equivalent of , of you or I going out to a buffet and eating so much that you come home and you literally have to lie down to digest your food because , uh , because you ate too much and , and so dogs by , by eating smaller , more frequent meals that add years to their life . But then we said , is there anything else we can do ?
We elevate , we elevate our food and water dishes to a specific height for every dog such that they never lean down , they only kilt their head down . We feed our dogs a minimum of five or more times a day . Smaller , more frequent meals that adds years to the life .

And the first thing we created was a special way of feeding and caring for dogs . We feed and care for dogs differently than anyone else .
