| Won't eat until I start to take away her food bowl My yorkie of 4 years is very picky about how she eats. She goes in her cage to eat, like all the other dogs, and has a food bowl ring inside to put in. She never eats until I open her cage, and only then very slowly. She will also eat a little if I put some on the floor in or out of her cage. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to stop this, it's really annoying. It's not the food brand, as she has been eating it no problem all her life. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Has this always been her routine? Has anything changed recently like her bowl? My boys are very picky about what I serve their food on, the bowls or plates. Max hates plastic and is a little afraid of stainless steel. They like eating off little salad plates best and they drink water out of a glass custard dish.

| Maybe she just wants you near her when she eats we have had two dogs when I was growing up that would not eat unless we where in the kitchen with them.

| My cat Inky liked me to rub her back when she ate. Animals have their own likes and dislikes when it comes to food and water bowls.

Max was this way for a long time. Wanted togetherness when he had his meals.
