Why Is My Dog Eating
There are many reasons why your dog may be eating more than usual. Some of the most common causes include:
- Increased activity level. If your dog is exercising more than usual, they will need to eat more to fuel their activity.
- Growth. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs need to eat more to support their growth and development.
- Metabolic disorders. Diseases such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism can cause increased appetite.
- Parasites. Dogs with intestinal parasites can lose weight and become malnourished, which can lead to increased appetite.
- Medication side effects. Some medications, such as corticosteroids, can cause increased appetite.
- Stress. Dogs under stress may eat more as a way to cope.
- Boredom. Some dogs eat out of boredom.
- Poor diet. If your dog is not getting enough nutrients from their food, they may eat more in an attempt to get the nutrients they need.
