| Anyone Have This Problem? I have had to hand feed Herschel his food. He won't eat from his dish. I dropped a few pieces of his Acana Wilderness kibble on the floor and he wolfed them up. I have now taken to pre cleaning one tile on the floor with hot water and then poutting his kibble on it. He eats it readily. I'm not sure why he doesn't like a bowl or a plate, but he doesn't. Who would have thought. Anyone else have this kind of thing happening? |

| One of my rescue's I adopted, the only way she would eat, was the food had to be on a paper towel.

| For seven months I have tried to get him to eat out of a bowl or a flat dish. He just won't. Now he is eating fine off the floor. I bought a granite 12x12 tile and wash it with hot water every morning and night before I put his food on it and put it on the floor. I am just happy that he is now eating his food. |

| Omgosh I don't even have enough time to tell you about all the bowls we have gone through trying to find something that Georgie will eat out of. I bought him the cutest bowls with a platform and he scratched at the platform like "Mommy get my food out of there." He literally eats his food on a clean blanket on our bed or we hand feed him. He is 7!!! We have also tried plates with no luck.

| Callie will eat out of her dish sometimes but her favorite thing to do is dump her food on the floor and then it. She is such a picker I normally hand feed her twice a day.

| I've got one that has to be hand fed. She just looks at the plate but won't eat until I give it to her. LOL |
