Buy smaller bowls, seriously - it really adds to peace of proportions.

Ya know.. I would have thought this was a tongue in cheek type of response if I hadn't done just that not so long ago. I had large bowls because all of my previous dogs have been large, so when I got Checkers I was having the same issues of not "filling up the bowl" for him. One thing they reccomend for humans trying to loose weight is to use a smaller bowl, so that's what I did for Checkers (though he's never had to loose weight). It actually made it so much easier on me to be able to put the same amount of food in the bowl and see the bowl full. It's a purely psycological thing on our parts. Even Cheyenne's bowl size went down at the same time. Oh, if you aren't already using them now I highly recommend ceramic bowls. I used to use plastic but they were always nasty looking after just a short time of use even with washing.. and got scratched up quickly. The ceramic bowls are SO much nicer... it's worth the extra upfront costs!
