My newly adopted dog seems starving. Is she getting enough food daily?

Question

My one year old beagle is ravenous all the time. We just adopted her last weekend. They told us to feed her 1 1/4 cups dry food once a day. Does that seem wrong? She seems to be starving. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 18.7 lbs

Dogs will often act hungry but that doesn't mean she is hungry. As long as her body weight is good and she is not over/under weight then keep feeding her the same amount you have been. Pet obesity is a huge problem so it is best if you don't overfeed her. If you want to see if she will eat raw baby carrot or raw green beans you give her those as "treats" so she feels like she is getting something it won't be adding a lot of calories.
