Ed King's custom dog feeders
Ed King of Dildo loves animals. And he was concerned to see his yellow Labrador retriever, Trigger, looking uncomfortable while he was eating.

"I was kind of sad to see him eating off the floor hunched over all the time," said King. 

Inspired by photos of custom dog feeders he found online, King used his carpentry skills to make a raised bowl system for Trigger.

"Trigger loves it," said King.

King said he takes custom orders, and he can build feeders tailored to the heights and needs of individual dogs.

King also has two cats, and he's branching out into building cat climbers, cat feeders and litter boxes.

"They [cats] are going to be a little more discerning customers, so I'll see what I can come up with for them."
