I know it is quite common when they eat out of a plastic bowl but have recently heard from a friend that it is not common if they only drink from a plastic bowl. Has anyone else heard of this? Or even possibly had a dog that had problems with a plastic food dish but not a water dish?
I've never heard that. I'd think that a plastic dish is a plastic dish, no matter what it's used for.

My friend has a cat that pushes and spills water too. What she did was get 2 ceramic water bowls, one larger than the other. Cut a non-skid place mat to fit into the larger bowl. Place the smaller bowl in the larger one. Then roll paper towels, a dishcloth, a towel, or something and pack it between the two bowls. It's worked quite well for her, I don't know if that will work for you, but it may be worth a try.
