| Try her with a plate? A friend's dog will only eat off a dish towel, IDK!

| I agree, use a plate as I'm sure that frisbee is not BPA free. Also, lots of pet stores have samples of all diff kinds of food that you could try & maybe find one she likes. |

| I have 2 that will only eat their kibble off the floor. We have tried everything from paper plates to glass to plastic. They will eat canned from a paper plate but not their kibble.

| Mandie won't eat out of a dog bowl at all. I use a saucer plate for her food and it works. Maybe your pup just doesn't like the bowl..?

| Some dogs don't like bowls. A plate may work better. Or one of those soup bowls with the low sides. Some dogs have a really good sense of smell and won't eat out of a dirt dish. Not any dogs I know of though. Not the one that eats off of paper plates at my house. |

| Ziva will only eat off a flat dish, I use Corning "sidekicks" dishes that I have collected from yardsales, She is a picky eater- the smallest of litter that was handfed by the breeder. Abby will eat anything, she was not spoiled- one of 5 that fought to get the food- she inhales from little porcelain rice bowls. |

| It took us 3 sets of bowls before Amy wouldn't dump them both over. Don't have any idea of why she didn't like them but seemed like the water and food always ended up on the floor. The 4th set of bowls sits up off the floor in a metal casing. Now she is happy and no more water on the floor. She does only eat one piece of food at a time though. Puts it up and goes about 3 or 4 feet away and eats it and then goes back for another piece. Takes her forever to eat. |

YT 500 Club Member | Sounds so familiar. I just went back to the store to return a bowl se that sat above the floor so she wouldn't tip it. But no luck with that either. She would not stick her nose down the bowl to eat her kibble. So, I went to the goodwill and got her a pretty pink small flower plate. And so far, nothing! Ugh, I guess she won't starve herself, idk what to do anymore!!! So frustrating when I can't get her to eat, it worries me!

| I put Callie's food on a paper plate and she dumps it and then will eat it but as long as she is eating it I just let her do it.
