[CD] Pets don't eat from full bowls (Patch 1.69)

I'm having the same/similar issue with my pets (dogs & cats). The bowls will be full, but the pets won't eat from the full or partially full bowls unless I fill the bowl and call them to eat. I have the two auto food dispensers placed outside of the building structure.

I started a new save and i have constantly had to cheat for my cat to not have a need decay because everytime i fill the pet bowl, she doesn’t want to eat. there is no option on the bowl to call her to eat or anything. even when the bowl is full, she will stand by it and ask for food and will literally sit there uncomfortably. 

I am still getting this issue that my grown dogs and cats cannot eat themselfs. I have to call them to eat so the actually eat. This same goes for going potty...

Having the same issue. They are complaining of starving and I can’t call them to eat at all. 

I created a raccoon and fox and at times they wont eat when needing to it tells me there very hungry and I need to give them a treat or fill there bowl but its already full of food so then I have to call them to eat. Can this be fixed?

My Sim Adopted a dog yesterday and it can't eat from the food bowl. I've tried resetting the dog and placing the bowl in different areas but it still won't eat. I also ask it to go eat and it just goes up to it and stands there in idle. I have mods but I've taken them out for now.

I've been having this problem, except the "call to eat" option has not been showing up at all. I can only feed them by giving them treats. I see other people have been replying to this within the past week or so, is it a problem with the new update?
