I used to do that, but I have 3 now & they make a mess. Regarding hand-feeding...I had to do that for about a year with one of mine. I was concerned that he wasn't eating enough, so I just hand-fed him. He eventually got over it. But some people hand-feed for many months, or even forever. These little babies are so spoiled!!  Good luck! |

Max was afraid of the stainless steel water dish, so we changed to glass, and we often feed food off of saucers/salad plates. |
I would try another plate or bowl and see if it helps.
As for Royal Canin, they are a reputable company...one of the few who have a veterinary nutritionist on staff.
If you ever want to have any questions answered about dog food, I highly recommend petdiets.com which is run by a Board Certified Vet Nutritionist.
Here is a link to her quite impressive credentials.
