She doesn't have to stick her face down into a deep dark bowl. Maybe try to see if that have that at your local Dollar Store. It's kind of like the plates the use in the Army...tin. I would suggest as far as not eating to pick a food and stick with it. We went through about 5 brands before I got sick of it. I put down her dish..she gets about 15-20 minutes then it's up. She gets her next meal at her scheduled feeding ususally 3 hours later..in between I do give her some Nutrical if she hasn't eaten. I use Nutro Puppy wet for 2 of her meals then RC dry puppy for one. Your puppy will get hungry and eat eventually. Cash is big enough to miss a meal or two w/out any consequences to his health and if you're afraid give him some Nutrical in between feeding sessions. Good Luck. Georgia still goes through her fussy phases but I know eventually she'll get real hungry and polish off her meals.

I'm having the same problem with my dog not eating. I will try these things mentioned. If she gets hungry enough, I'm sure she'll eat! How old is your dog? You said she eats every 3 hours....how many times a day?
