| Won't Eat From Her Dish? does anyone else have this problem...well I wouldn;t call it a problem just curious why she does this strange habit. ZOEY will eat her soft, pouch food from her dish but will not eat her hard dog food from her dish. as soon as I put it on the floor she gobbles it up. I was just wondering if any other 's do this.

| Chloe does this too but I am not sure why. When I first got her she wouldn't even eat the wet food out of the bowl if I had it turned the wrong way. Apparently her food 'has' to be on the right hand side for her to eat it. |

| HAHA When I first got Precious she would not eat from her bowl. She would flick her food out onto the floor and then she would run up to the pile, grab a piece of food and run away to eat it. I was always worried because I never thought she was getting enough to eat! I don't know why she did this but after a few months she grew right out of it! However, she doesn't like glass or ceramic bowls, just the ugly plastic one I had to go get! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali still won't eat out of her bowl, I have been putting her wet food on a paper plate and she takes it runs to another room and dumps it all over and eats at here leisure. I just started with her plastic bowl again and same thing. She almost 7 months I don't think she will ever grow out of it. I told my husband I might as well just throw her food on the floor to start with!

| Won't Eat From Her Dish Bogey and Gabe will only eat their wet and dry food from a flat plate. Gabe plays with the dry food where Bogey is all business. The only thing they "eat" from a bowl is water. A friend told me that they don't get their beards as dirty as when using a flat plate as they do from a bowl. Go figure!!!! |

| I wonder if that's how they fed the litter - on a paper plate? They probably had to grab a mouthful and run for it! Have you tried the stainless steel bowls that have rubber on bottom so they won't slide? I've read somewhere that it wasn't good feeding out of a plastic dish.

| Oliver will not eat his puppy food at all. Instead he will go to the big dog food bowl and take on piece at a time into the livingroom to eat, run back and get another until he is finished. |

| I tried this morning giving ZOEY her breckfast on a dish, soft and dry and quess what she ate it all. I don't think she likes sticking her little itty bitty head into that stainless steel bowl. WOULD YOU!! she does drink her water but I keep if full to the top with fresh water.....still can't avoid the wet beard look quess I am going to have to do some shopping to get her the perfect dinner plate....just a regular plate is not good enough for my ZOEY. designer all the way!!!

| I am the first time owner of a yorkie and she seems to do the same thing with her dry food and wet food. she take it out of her dish and then eats it. Maybe someone who has owned yorkies and is familiar with them can answer a few questions for me about other things other than her food. |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Well it is good to know that my girls are not the only picky ones...we have tired four different bowls and yet they just don't like eating out of them!! We finally went to plates and now they eat off them like is no problem...I think they are just spoiled rotten!! But as long as they are eating, I don't care what they are eating off of!!! LOL
