Not sure this is even the right place for this question, but it's the closest I can find....
What I'm looking for is a plan for building a food table for a dog...I've seen them before, but haven't found a diagram that I could use as a guide for building my own. They're basically a wooden stand, a bit less than shoulder height to the dog, with two holes in the top surface, one for the food dish and one for the water dish.
Apparently, the table makes it much easier for the dog to swallow and digest the food properly, especially if the dog is a larger breed and has to almost lie on the floor to eat out of a bowl without a table.
Being an owner of two rather large Dobermans, I'd like to build something like this for them. It appears to be a relativley simple project, but if there's a plan available, I might as well use it.
Thanks!

Don't know the whereabouts of a plan, but it's a good idea. I built one for my standard poodle (26" at the shoulder and 78 lbs.) about 2 years ago.
Basically, all I did was cut a circular hole in a piece of plywood, cut legs to the proper height and attach them.
It ain't elegant, but it works...
