from reading this has make me think to persiver, ive just changed George's bowl to a new posh one! he is NOT having none of it! hes in a right grump, grumping at the bowl and the new matt, he wont go near it. :-( so dissapointed as i love the bowl! should i carry on and try to get him used to it or go back to his old bowl?? x
Bless him I'd give him his 'old' bowl back, is he not eating from the new bowl?

What are the bowls made of? If the old bowl is plastic, stick to your guns. He'll eat, after all he is a Pug. They should eat from stainless or ceramic bowls. We use stainless.
I had two sisters from the same litter and they couldn't be any different in both looks and behavior. Lacey was 23# and ate everything in her sight and ate very fast....no hesitation from her! Cagney at only 16# is the alpha of the two and is a very picky eater. She doesn't eat directly out of her dish but will take a mouthful of food, walk over to a rug and drop the food on it. Then she'll slowly eat it piece by piece, go back and get another mouthful and repeat the whole process. But when she's had enough she'll just walk off and leave it. I never have to worry about her overeating.
bowls are hard plastic with the stailess steal metal in the middle that comes out to clean and fill up etc.
he has now settled to this new bowl thank god it cost a fortune! i just hope he settles to his new friend ( i pick up my new pug pup tomorrow morning) i hope they dont mixed up with who's bowl is who's !
Audrey is so fast that by the time I give my cat her food Audrey is done! Then goes looking for me to give her more. Even sniffs the dog food bag looking for more. The muffin tins sounds like a good idea. I'm going to try that.
I've been thinking about you and Audrey. How is she doing?
