I’m wondering if at some point the bowl, or the food in the bowl, was hotter than it should have been and your dog got burned and is now simply afraid of the bowl. I don’t believe it has anything to do with the color or type of bowls. I can’t see any reason why you would have to switch bowls. I think that at some point either the edge of a bowl or bottom of bowl or some food in the bowl was just too hot for her. Some materials in the microwave heat very unevenly and very very hot. Some spot may have been overlooked when you were mixing the food from the microwave or you may have mixed the food but some spot on the bottom of the bowl was still too hot for her.

Why do you heat the food up anyway? An easier method would be to just add a little bit of warm water to the food itself if you’re simply trying to warm the food up a little. Also they get more water in their diet.
