So hungry puppy lets go to part How to Know If Your Dog Is Hungry

You sit down to eat and suddenly your dog is by your side, begging for a bite of your meal. Their sad eyes and whimpers may be convincing, but how do you know if your dog is truly hungry or just trying to score a treat?

It may seem like your dog is hungry, but if they are getting regular meals, they likely aren’t starving. They just want to eat, much like humans eat when we’re not really hungry. But just because they want those table scraps doesn’t mean they should have them. That’s where portion control comes in.

How Much to Feed Them
Experts say to feed your dogs twice a day, about 8 to 12 hours apart. The amount of food they need depends on lots of things, including their:

Size
Age
Activity level
Breed
General health
Your vet can calculate the number of calories your dog needs each day. Then divide that in half, check the calories on your dog’s food, and measure out a proper portion for breakfast and dinner.

If you give treats, use the smallest pieces possible. Treats should make up less than 10% of your dog’s diet. Take note of the number of calories in their treats and subtract them from their daily total when serving their meals.
