I've noticed my dog won't eat directly from her food bowl, she takes food out, drops it on the floor, then eats the food. I tried cleaning her bowl but she still does this. I just want to no if this is normal.

It's not that strange, especially if the dog has trouble eating from inside the bowl. A shorter rim may help.
She's adding toe-jam flavor. My aunt's lab did this all the time; though not as bad as my cat deciding to play in his water dish.
If you think this is bad, try having a macaw. Some move their pellets to the water dish, allow them to become soggy, and drink their food. It's a very messy process.
One of my cats does this.
My beagle we have had for well over 10 years takes a mouthful of food, goes into the next room and drops it on the floor, then eats. She repeats until she is full.
My dog does this sometimes it's fine. Kinda funny.
Your dog's gonna die.
yeah my dog does that ALL the time
its kind of annoying
My dog likes to drink out my little Chihuahua's bowl. It is jealous as hell, so when the chihuahua eats, it pushes it to her dogbowl, and drink and eats out of the little dog's bowl.
Before we had the chihuahua, she did this alot
I'm just gonna say this now. I am not converting her to communism.
My dog stopped doing this when we got her a bigger bowl. But she still gets a mouthful, goes to the water bowl, and then tries to drink at the same time. She will still eat the soggy floating bits of food after too.
Yeah, my dog will take one piece, walk to a carpeted room, drop it and roll on it a few times before eating in.
Also, the chihuahua does this, he grabs the big dog's food, and carries it around in his mouth, till it gets soggy, drops it on the floor, then eats it.

Sounds very fucking annoying
Yeah, my dog does this from time to time. Never questioned it though, I just thought he was being clumsy.
My dog does this sometimes, but she will also take her food and fling it from her mouth and chase it.
It's pretty amusing.

my dog does that. I dont know why. Probably hates the huge size of the food bowl.

Maybe that.
What kind of dog do you have. I can see that happening with smaller dogs but I don't think thats normal for large ones.
My dog was sick once when he was a puppy, he looked completely normal and all. He wouldn't eat out of his bowl, he'd eat off the floor and eat if I held the food for him. I took him a Vet and they told me he had some kind of infection in his throat. I had to give him medicated wet food and after a week he was eatting out of the bowl again. I figured I would throw that out there, but I don't think thats the case for you.
One of my dogs does this almost all the time.
My cat does this, I usually take a scoop and put it on the floor for her.
Sometimes my dog does it with pizza.
no, your dog had dog aids.
My dog does this but takes the food way over to a rug to eat.
My dog will get food, run up to you, and eat it in front of you. Sometimes he'll get lazy and he'll bark at me and when I'll follow him he'll go to his bowl, take some food, turn his neck and just chew while looking at me. He's so fucking odd it's hilarious.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24951445]Oh lord that must be amusing.[/QUOTE]
I actually have two rugs near her food dish, and she alternates between the two.
I had a hamster that would take her food pellets, jam them into her shit-and-piss-encrusted wheel, and then tenderize and flavor it for about a minute each pellet. Of course, this was the same hamster that would repeatedly throw itself headfirst down from the top of her cage (which is about a foot high) and would grime up her wheel whenever it was cleaned and proceed to run the night away in indignation, so I guess she was just a crazy, furry little bitch.
my cat does that
Yeah that's weird, but I would think others do it too, and it's no concern. Plus, my cat eats from the bowl, makes a mess, then eats the stuff from the floor
My dog does the same thing. He'll take a mouthful of food, take it into the other room, drop it all on the floor, and then eat it. It's annoying because he leaves little pieces of food all over the floor for everybody to step on or pick up for him. :v:
The dog I had before this one did it, too, so I think it's pretty common.
