There is a correlation to raised bowls and dogs getting bloat. If you have a dog with a large chest and tucked in tummy it is in the best interest of the dog to feed with the bowl on the floor.

"In any case, here’s the finding in the largest study of its kind (1,634 dogs), one you can read and dispute at your leisure: “Cumulative incidence of GDV during the study was 6% for large breed and giant breed dogs. Factors significantly associated with an increased risk of GDV were increasing age, having a first-degree relative with a history of GDV, having a faster speed of eating, and having a raised feeding bowl. Approximately 20 and 52% of cases of GDV among the large breed and giant breed dogs, respectively, were attributed to having a raised feed bowl.” (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2000;217:1492–1499)
