My 9-month Aussiedoodle is always hungry. Should I change her diet?

Question

My 9 month old aussiedoodle is hungry all the time. I feed her earthborn puppy vantage the most I am supposed to feed her according to her age and weight. Should I change her food to a more protein filled food or just feed her more? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 9 months and 6 days old | 35.5 lbs

Try spacing out the food over three feeds a day. You can also try to add extra fiber to the food, such as bran, in order to bulk it up and make her stomach fuller. Make sure the food you are feeding (I am not familiar with it) is labeled as a complete puppy food for medium breeds. If not, I would change over to a food by a company that offers scientific formulas such as Iams. Hills, Purina ProPlan, etc. Make sure you transition slowly over about a week's time. Take Calli to your vet for a weigh-in and find out if she is a proper weight. Hunger is not necessarily correlated with not being fed enough. If she is the proper weight but keeps begging for food it is rather a behavioral thing.
