My dog acts super hungry right after pooping. Is this normal?

Question

Hi there! So Layla is hungry most of the time. Okay she's a pug could be normal but I've noticed she wants to eat immediately after taking a poop. Like crazy hungry every time she takes a poop regardless of whether or not she's already had her scheduled meal. Is this normal? Thanks!

Some dogs seem to feel extra happy and frisky right after pooping, so it's not surprising that Layla might seem especially hungry right after this - especially if she's usually a big fan of food in general :) This doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about, as long as she's acting normal otherwise.
