Why is my dog always acting like they're starving after eating enough?

Question

Why is my Molly acting like she's starving all of the time? I feed her the same can food and same amount that I have for the last couple of years. Otherwise, she's as happy and healthy as always. Nothing has changed. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 13 years and 5 months old | 20 lbs

There are some disease processes in dogs that can cause an increased appetite. Most notably is an endocrine disorder called Cushing's Disease and the appetite is the result of excessive steroid production in the body. A pet taking steroid medication could also have increased appetite. There are other possible diagnoses as well so if the change is significant a good place to start would be an exam and bloodwork with your family vet.
