Brew is a floor eater as well.
i have purchased a stainless steel bowl set (1st), plastic (2nd), then tried a nice ceramic dog bowl for a 3rd choice
and STILL.....he no likey bowls
really, i feel like as long as he is eating the good quality kibble i want him to eat without adding any toppers (other then the grizzly omega oil with dinner) i'm still winning. (and he still THINKS he's winning)
i don't want him to fear eating ever. it should be a happy low-stressfull time for us.
i have decieded to pick my battles with this one....now lets see if i can get him to stop rolling his favorite ball under our couch...
the one thing i will say is that if you do just let them eat off the floor to make sure you aren't cleaning the floor where he eats with any chemicals. i just wipe the floor down with a wet towel in his pen every once in a while. (and am on the lookout for the perfect food mat)
