Dog food bowl

hannah · Sep 8, 2015

Banksy hates his dog bowl. He hasn't been wanting to eat from it at all.

What kind of bowls do your frenchies have? If you could post a photo, or a link to one online that would be super helpful so I can shop for one he enjoys eating out of!!

I have glass bowls for my guys.
Dont really trust anythingelse.
That said, my girl would eat right from the floor if she had to.

So to her it doesnt matter. lol

Mine just eat from stainless steel bowls. Are you certain it's not what's in the bowl? What is leading you to believe it's the bowl? Are you having to hand feed?

Well it seems that the way the bowl is shaped he just pushes it around with his face...
I thought it was the food, and on a previous post someone advised me that my food might be too old cause we got a really big bag... So I tossed the food got all new smaller bags, storing them in an air tight container so it's fresh... but still has an issue with eating.

He will eat from our hands and off the floor but not the bowl.

haha that's funny. Banksys bowl is ceramic but I think it is the shape he doesn't like. The walls of the bowl might be too tall?!? I don't know!!! lol

Hmmmm...could be a little bit of a picky eater. Maybe you could just try the same food in one of your bowls/pans/dishes and see if he eats okay. If not, then you may want to switch proteins/foods or add some sort of topper to make it really enticing. I went through a couple of changes of foods when my pups were young...not uncommon.

I feed Radar from a ceramic cereal bowl, maybe it's soup, whichever is smaller. In any case, he has had no issues eating from it. Of course, he eats everything, anywhere. I agree with trying an assortment of your dishes. It could be the bowl, or maybe he is just bored with his food.

We use stainless steel bowls in a stand so he can't push them around. I like the stainless because I have a bad habit of banging the spoon or whatever I use to mix on the bowl to get extra stuff off and I destroy ceramic bowls in like one day...haha. The stainless is easy to throw in the dishwasher too.
