Some of the health issues that may lead to insatiable appetite, or polyphagia, include: diabetes. tumors.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_excessive_hunger_in_dogs\"><\/span>What causes excessive hunger in dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Increased appetite is completely normal in pets that have <b>high energy requirements, such as growing puppies and kittens, pets that exercise strenuously such as hunting dogs, and pregnant or nursing females. Also, pets eating a poor quality diet may eat more to meet their energy requirements.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_if_Im_feeding_my_dog_enough\"><\/span>How do I know if I&#8217;m feeding my dog enough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The rib cage is a good indicator of whether you are feeding him enough food or not. Here&#8217;s what you can do: run your fingers through your dog&#8217;s rib cage. You should be able to feel individual ribs, but not see the definition of each rib. This is a good rule of thumb.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_still_seem_hungry_after_eating\"><\/span>Why does my dog still seem hungry after eating?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most dogs overeat, because of the same reasons most humans do &#8211; <b>because they enjoy eating, and food is delicious. One way to stop your dog from begging for food is by diverting their attention to something more exciting. This can also help you feel less guilty for not giving into their adorable demands.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_feed_a_dog_who_is_always_hungry\"><\/span>What to feed a dog who is always hungry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Vegetables like carrots and green beans can be added to dogs&#8217; meals to bulk up the food&#8217;s fiber content and make the pups feel more full without adding a lot of calories, says Morgan. Grind the vegetables and cook them lightly before serving to your dog. Veggies can make great snacks between meals, as well, she says.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_constantly_begging_for_food\"><\/span>Why is my dog constantly begging for food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dog begging can happen because <b>your pup has learned that they can manipulate you into giving a food treat as a reward at certain times. When you give in to your dog&#8217;s begging, it reinforces the behavior. Your dog quickly learns that if they beg long enough, you&#8217;ll eventually give in out of stress or frustration.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents Why is my dog so hungry even after eating?What causes excessive hunger in dogs?How do I know if I&#8217;m feeding my dog enough?Why does my dog still seem hungry after eating?What to feed a dog who is always hungry?Why is my dog constantly begging for food?
