My dog acts starving after meals. How do I make her feel full?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | unspayed | 155 lbs

My boxer constantly acts like she is starving. I feed her great food, Canidae Bison and give her the suggested amount for her ideal weight. I split the feedings in to two servings, one in the morning and the other at night. After eating she will sit in front of me and cry for more. Sometimes I give in and give her an extra cup. She looks healthy and I know she isn’t starving but not sure how to satisfy her.

Hello, you could try adding fiber to her diet or switching to a food with more fiber to create a filling effect for her. This will also cause voluminous stools but will help make her feel more full. The added fiber will not provide additional calories as this fiber is undigestible. Hope this helps and best of luck.
