Pets not drinking or eating

[Arr_Dee]

Exactly as the title says. My 3 dogs are not eating or drinking water. I have automatic feeders and waters.. I have regular food and water bowls. But no matter what I do they wont eat or drink. I have sat in my office for over an hour before just waiting to see if they eat or drink but they still don't. Is there something I have to do to trigger them eating and drinking?

I am assuming you've moved the feeders and waterers around, right? I had that problem with cats. There was the slightest of divots where two counters met that was perfect to put the cat bowls, but they could not path there. The only indicator I saw is them actually failing to attempt it until I moved them and then they routed immediately.

So, if you haven't moved them to the middle of the floor, do so and give it five minutes. If that fails, travel away from the office and back to reset it. (Also, they do not drink or eat anywhere but the office from what I understand, even if they are technically needs deficient.)

In case anyone needs another possible solution:

My one dog got stuck in the doghouse today (looked like a glitch). His need said food but he didn't move, so I sold the doghouse (because I couldn't interact with him, only the house) and within seconds he went to the bowl.

I did not know they can drink or eat since all they do are just sitting there without looking sick lol

Interact with your pet(in your office) and set them to "stay(no check mark)" I believe thats the one. there is a Stay that shoes a "sit" icon then if you click Stay again the icon shows "standing" the standing one is the one you want.

OMG THANK YOU!!! I came here looking for jus that. I had set my dalmation down in front of the food and water and he was just laying there looking sad. Switched him to "Move" and he went right over!

If I have 3 dogs, do I also need 3 food and water bowls?
