I recently built a Bailey Chair for dogs suffering from Megaesophagus.
Dogs with megaesophagus have an enlarged esophagus. This makes swallowing food difficult. Eating while in an upright position helps and the task of keeping the dog vertical is easier when the dog is sitting in a Bailey chair.
Adam, over at Lazy Guy DIY, has put together a great tutorial on how to build the Bailey Dog Chair. I followed his instructions with very few modifications.
I made a companion blog post about my build. You can read it here. Thanks for checking out my project!

At first glance I wondered why in the world would a dog need a chair. After reading your post I realised that you are a caring dog owner, so I congratulate you on a very nicely done project and your dog on having a wonderful owner!
