You shouldn't assume that your pet runs up to the bowl with enviable regularity just because he's so damn hungry.
This behavior may be the result of a stressful situation, when the owner once had to leave the dog alone, one-on-one with an empty bowl.
If your pet has ever found himself in a similar situation, be prepared for the fact that he will now start to “fill his belly” for future use, and sometimes even hide the remains of provisions in a secluded corner – just in case.
In addition, one should not forget about the so-called “mating season”, which periodically occurs in the life of a dog.
At such moments, animals literally develop a wolfish appetite, which is not affected by sterilization.
Another factor that can make a dog a beggar is an unbalanced diet.
Remember: all components should be present in the dog's diet: proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and minerals. All of them play an important role in satiety.
Besides, food is one of the ways to entertain yourself during long hours of forced idleness.
Finally, an insatiable appetite may indicate that you are likely to soon become the father (mother) of a large family - even if the pregnancy is not yet noticeable, the dog may have a constant desire to eat.
