Alright, so my doggo had a traumatic experience with his old metal dog bowls. He refused to eat for days on end and I would have to hand feed him. But I started to notice that he would extend his neck to try to eat and Everytime his metal tags hit the bowl, he'd freak out and wouldn't eat again. These new rubber food bowls have been such a life saver! First day I swapped his bowls out, he had no issue with the bowl and he gobbled down everything for the first time in weeks!! Such a huge relief to see my puppa eat on his own again. Thank you so much for this amazing product! Def a must have if your pup has had a traumatic experience with metal dishes!
