Why is my dog whimpering and not eating from her new elevated bowl?

Question

I just bought my dog a new food bowl. this is one is elevated since she is getting taller and it’s the perfect height for her . But she’s gone over to the bowl a few times since it’s her feeding time and she keeps prancing and whimpering really loud at the bowl.

Aww poor Kina sounds like she might be a bit confused. Try guiding her over to the bowl and showing her as you put food in it so she understands what the new bowl is for. You might also want to try putting her old bowl within the new one while shes watching so she understands what it is. Throw a few small treats in the bowl randomly during the day so she learns it's a place where she gets good things that she likes, and hopefully she will understand it soon!
