Bending to feed, would a higher dish be better?

Archie has been a bit reluctant to eat these days, and I've been wondering if it might be hurting his neck to stoop down to his bowl on the floor to eat. He's quite tall these days and has a very long neck... will it be beneficial to feed him off a low stool or something?

Hi Tuti I wouldn't have thought it would hurt Archies neck to bend to eat but if you prefer to put the food on a stool or similar I am sure that will be fine too

Ergonomic bowls can be bought quite reasonably. Argos do one

I'm going to try putting his bowl on a stool for a couple of days.... I need to figure out why he's suddenly so reluctant to eat
