My dog has been really hungry the past few days, even though I feed him all the time! Is this increase in appetite the result of an illness, or is this normal? Should I change something in his diet?
Has his activity level increased at all? Is he losing weight? Is your dog acting any differently other than wanting to eat more? Sometimes increased appetite can be an indication of an illness, like diabetes. With my dog, for example, she would eat all the time if I let her; she's just really food motivated. She also needs more food in the winter than in the summer since it's cold and she burns more energy to keep warm. If you're concerned, you could give your vet a call.
