How do I stop my puppy from playing with his food and water bowls?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 20 days old

My puppy has been playing with his food bowl and water bowl for a while now, he broke his first bowls. I bought him new ones, but he just keeps on playing with them. Water is clean and he likes his food, so I don't see a problem. How can I make him stop?

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I would recommend using a dog food bowl stand, which you can find quite easily online. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
