I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Some bowls make too much noise and it scares the dog, other bowls like stainless steal can show a reflection and it scares the dog. You could use a paper plate till the dog gets more confidence. If the paper plate works, eventually start adding a little of the food to a bowl. I know the sound of ceramic bowls moving around on a ceramic floor can be a little loud, so even placing a mat under the bowl could help.

| Harry hates bowls - even now!!! So he has his own designated 'bone china plate' (the same as ours!) - but I've put a sticker on the back so that I don't get them muddled up ...plus I put it on a place-mat on the floor so it doesn't move around

| Some years back I had a girl that at the age of 3 y/o decided she wasn't eating from a bowl any more, I used a salad dish for her and that worked, thing is lol, she would eat the half that faced her but would not reach over to eat the rest, I had to turn the plate 1/2 around so she could finish the rest lol, such a silly girl. AND, if I wasn't watching her when she ate the first 1/2 she would back away and bark at me to turn the dish around lol, she was so cute. How I miss my girls.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I use tart plates for all of mine bc I love how short/shallow they are (pic below). You do want to put a mat underneath if on a tile floor as the dish can make noise...

| I use a bowl originally purchased for my Calypso cat; it's rather wide and shallow (designed for those feline whiskers) and Piper has been fine with it. I also have it raised off of floor about two inches and have a placemat under bowl...These sweethearts have some rather distinct and endearing little idiosyncrasies, don't they?! |

| I use saucers. They are the right size with just a small indentation in the middle. You can usually find a whole stack of them at any thrift store. I just use the ones that came with my dish set that I got 20 + yrs ago. We have never used the cups or saucers in all those yrs. Now I have a use for the saucers at least. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Good suggestions! Eddie sometimes gets afraid of his water bowl or food bowl. In retrospect, it's probably the reflection. He'll bark at the bowl. I used to have to go out and hand feed him, but now when he does it he just wants encouragement. I go out and watch him and he's fine.
