Why does my dog keep eating off the floor?

It may come as a surprise but, most dogs don't eat stuff off the ground because they're hungry. They might do it because they want to explore everything, they like the taste of things like grass and dirt, or because they are lacking some important nutrients in their diets.

Why does my dog eat off the floor but not his bowl?

Your dog could just simply be following his instincts. Some dogs cant stand the noise a metal food bowl makes. If your dog has one of those they could the sound could be increasing their anxiety or stressing them out. Your dog may not like being watched while he eats so he moves to a more discrete area of the home.
