I have a 13 yr. old rescue, Rosie, who has struggled with eating out of any bowl or plate. I've tried everything. Then just lately, suddenly it occurred to me that the clinking of her tags against the bowl/plate might be scaring her. Since I've taken her collar off I've had not problems. Go figure. Can't believe it took me years to figure that one out.
