Winston is 14 weeks, I bought a plastic bowl for him but it flipped on him and now he won't go near a bowl. Thinks it is going to eat him up I guess. He drinks his water out of a small stainless bowl but I tried a matching stainless for his food, forget it. He would eat kibble off the floor. But the other day I found a small heavy pottery dog bowl and he is now eating from it. He can't flipped it over and its easy to wash. Keep trying you will find something that will work.
