I have tried everything and way to get our SHIH ZHU to eat from a BOWL/Plate/placemat. With no luck. I can't leave his food down on the floor because we also have a PUGGLE who will and has eaten just about anything he can find. When the puggle eats the SHIH ZHU's
Food the SHIH ZHU could care not. I am at a loss. This is not sanitary and especially as he gets older it has not gotten any better.

PLEASE HELPME with any SUGGESTIONS??

Try offering a plate, that may be easier for him, or change bowls. Some dogs are extremely picky about what they eat out of, so switch it up, find a bowl or plate that suits him.
