Why is my dog afraid to eat out of his bowl?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Dogs may be afraid of their plastic food bowl because it's too large or it causes an allergic reaction. Or, perhaps they're nervous about a metal food bowl that moves when nudged, feels cold to the touch, or makes a loud, clanging sound when placed on the ground. 10 янв. 2017 г.


How do I get my dog to eat out of his bowl?

Try pouring a little chicken broth or stock in the bowl to encourage him to eat from the bowl and give him lots of praise when he decides to go ahead and eat. Keep food availability to a minimum, say for around 20 minutes before picking up the bowl. Keep trying until he is ready to eat the minute you put the bowl down.

Why does my dog seem scared to eat?

If your dog is suddenly refusing food, it's a sign of stress. The stress may not be purely emotional, either. Some dogs refuse food because they are experiencing physical pain or even illness. Other dogs might not eat because they are depressed, especially after a major life change.
