Highchair For Dog With Enlarged Oesophagus

54 Comments
Bella the dog eating in her upright Bailey ChairThis sweet little dog is called Bella. She has a condition called Megaesophagus which means that her oesophagus is enlarged and she needs to eat her meals in an upright position. In this video you can see her happily using what is called a Bailey Chair. It keeps her comfortable and upright while she eats and for 10 minutes afterwards.

In the Youtube description her owners explain: "This is our cute dog Bella. She was diagnosed with congenital megaesophagus soon after we found her at 4 months old. Megaesophagus means that her esophagus is enlarged and lacks the muscle mobility to swallow food while horizontal. This is her "Baileys Chair," which she needs sit in while eating and for 10 minutes after she eats. She eats soft dog food with a little water mixed in. She is now seven months old and doing great!"

Wonderful. Well done to Bella's lovely humans for taking such good care of her extra special feeding needs and bon appétit Bella.

For more info on canine Megaesophagus and these special upright highchairs for dogs, visit Megaesophagus and The Bailey Chair.

A lot of people ask me when they can get a Bailey chair in the UK. This Facebook page Bailey Chairs for Dogs UK make them but there is a waiting list. You can contact them via Facebook.

I have a dog ,German wire haired pointer who has megasophagus as a result of PRAA.we got her at 4 months, and she's now 26 months.There's an American megasophagus site which is brilliant and very supportive. I dont know anyone else in the Uk with a megasophagus dog , and my vet is lovely but knows very little about it. I managed to get a Bailey chair and never give her water, but soak her food (Arcana )in double amount water overnight and feed her with a spatula and give her pots of jelly water(gelatine) which I make in 240g pots.I've got her feeding down from 4 times a day to twice. Also no treats. She's beautiful and otherwise very healthy. It's so upsetting and difficult at the beginning and I'm sure we'll have more ups and downs, but it's worth it. Do check the American forum.

Hello Mandy

My parents' Irish Setter is suffering with this condition. They live in the West Midlands. Where did you source your Bailey Chair from please? I will share your post with them as I think they would be interested to read about the gelatine option. Hope your dog is doing well despite the condition.

Thanks
