Why do dogs growl when they eat
Often, any movement of a person or other animal towards a bowl of food can cause the dog to turn on a warning signal - a growl.
When a pet makes quiet noises while eating, this is a mild form of displeasure or emotional arousal.
However, if the dog growls with his lips lifted and teeth exposed, the signal may be followed by action.
You need to be more careful. Do not approach the animal or touch it.
It is natural for dogs to protect their resources. This includes food, territory and offspring.
Do not pet or touch the dog while the animal is eating or handling puppies.
The instinct manifests itself when feeding a pet and extends to everyone who is near its food and bowl, especially when they try to take the dog’s treat away.
Resource aggression in your own domestic dog is unacceptable, and this behavior needs to be corrected.
