hi doctor, why my dog is always hungry? he's a 2.6 years shihtzu male.. whenever I get out of my kitchen he would check my hands if I'm carrying any food, whenever I have any fruit or snack, he would bark continously at me.. I usually feed him an egg with veggies in morning, a snack usually a sweet potato or a carrot around 3pm.. and for dinner I serve him 4 tablespoon kibble.. am I feeding him less ? his current weight is 8.5 kgs and tends to gain weight..

Yes for his body weight it is less, so in the morning with veggies and egg give him chapathis and in the evening give 5-6 biscuits and 1-2 carrots and in the night give him curd with 1 bowl of kibbles or rice then he wonot feel hungry all the time

We used to feed him thrice a day but then he gained upto 10 kgs. So doctors advised to reduce and maintain his weight, as its a small shihtzu.. they advised that his weight should not exceed 8.5 kgs.. Shall I resume feeding him thrice a day then?

One of the most memorable days of my life , Rio's first birthday. It was right after the lockdown was lifted, I never thought I will fulfill my wish of celebrate the morning among buzzing bees and fresh air far away from the city. But it worked out perfectly , we went for a long drive from Bangalore, went for a swim in the river and had a day of dreams. ♥️🐶
