I often recommend trying a programmable feeder for this problem. You can program the feeder to provide an amount of food at a certain time, and dogs are generally smart enough to know that the machine (and not you!) provides the food at a certain time and will sit in front the feeder until the meal shows up!

It depends on the dog and the amount of food it's able to eat. Some dogs will only be hungry at certain times of the day if they are able to eat enough. Other dogs may appear hungry all the time, but they may be eating more than enough, because they don't know when their next meal is. These dogs can become very fat if given too much food on a regular basis. I hope that helps to answer your question.

Congrats on your new dog, Paps is very handsome! He should be fed twice a day, and I would feed him according to the instructions on the food package. Divide the recommended daily allotment into two equal servings, and feed him morning and evening. Now if that's what you are doing and he seems very hungry, then divide the daily allotment into three portions and feed him morning, noon, and evening. Be sure to feed him a high quality dog food brand, as those will have the best ingredients to help keep him full and satisfied. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps, enjoy your handsome boy :-)

Do you think her body weight is appropriate? If she is underweight, she can eat more. If she is normal, you may consider putting her food in treat or puzzle toys so that it takes her longer to eat. She may also be looking for attention. Help her get in more play time or do obedience training to give her mind something to do. If she still seems really hungry, you can try feeding a weight loss food at higher amounts - they usually have more fiber so that it fills the dog up without adding extra calories.

This is unfortunately a common problem - many dogs act hungry even though they are getting more than enough calories to maintain their weight. It sounds like begging during mealtime is a particular problem and I'm wondering if she has been given table scraps in the past. You could try offering her meal at the same time you are eating and using a food puzzle to keep her occupied. It is very important to never offer food from the table in order to discourage begging behavior. If you feel like she is not satiated with her current diet you could ask your veterinarian if they would recommend a prescription diet like Hill's Metabolic that is designed to help dogs feel more satiated while losing weight.
