In an exemplary embodiment, the feeding station includes a vertically-adjustable shelf or feeding tray having the feeding and water bowls. The shelf or feeding tray is configured to slide in and out from the cabinet to provide easy access to the bowls of the feeding station. The feeding station shelf or tray is configured to be elevated or lowered vertically to adjust to the stature (e.g. height) of the animal. The elevation of the feeding station is configured to be adjusted to one of a plurality of levels (vertically aligned) based on an animals height. An advantage of the adjustable height is to accommodate different heights as an animal grows from a young animal to an older animal or to accommodate different heights when the animal has a need to change heights (e.g., surgical procedure, etc.). According to further embodiments (not illustrated), the feeding station may include multiple side by side feeding trays that are at different heights to accommodate a plurality of animals, each animal having a different height that is compatible with one of the feeding stations.
