If your dog constantly asks for food, it may be a sign of psychological distress.
Why does a dog constantly ask for food
For example, such behavior of a pet may indicate that the animal has bulimia: the dog may be afraid of being hungry.
Neurohormonal disorders can also affect the feeling of hunger. For example, depression, neurosis, chronic stress.
Another common reason for constant hunger is that the food may not be suitable for the dog.
Food is either poorly digestible or not energy-intensive enough for the animal.
This may also be within normal limits, as dogs naturally have short digestive tracts and high stomach acidity.
All this contributes to faster digestion of food and more frequent feelings of hunger.
What to do if your dog constantly asks to eat
Check your pet's health and nutritional value of the food. Stick to your dog's diet and don't fall for tricks.
Your dog may be smarter than you think and beg for treats.
Ignore begging. If your pet already has the habit of asking for scraps, you should ignore it and wean your dog off this behavior.
Use the "place" command or distract the dog's attention.
Previously, we talked about how dogs communicate with people.
