My 6-month Labradoodle is always hungry. Should I spread her meals?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 4 days old | 11 lbs

Our 6 month old labradoodle is always hungry. We give the amount of food prescribed on the bag twice a day but that doesn't seem to satisfy her. Is it better to spread the same amount of food throughout the day?

At this age she shouldn't need to be fed more than twice a day, unfortunately some dogs (especially Labradors and their crosses) are never satisfied with the quantity of food given to them, they will always have room for more, you just need to feed her the quantity she needs, if she isn't skinny then she is probably getting the correct amount of food and you should keep the same regime of feeding.
