#1- I found that two feedings a day helped my dog with a chronic loose stool problem. I went to two feedings a day after a long conversation with a representative from the Innova company who recommended twice daily feedings.

#2- As with Doc I can't remember who did the study either, but do recall that it is preferred to feed and water at ground level to lessen the chance of bloat (never argue with millions years of evolution).

Here's the link to the "non-elevated" food/water dishes research.
