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?

I have a lab named Google. All photos of him are my fav, but this one touched my heart, so inked on my heart. My fav memory wid him is an incident during my pregnancy when I slipped and fell. Nobody from my family was there. He waited for sometime for me to getup and being restless trying to help me but when he realised it didn't work out, he went and called my husband for help. If he wasn't there, nobody would know for long time & dat time he was only 4months old. so dogs r always there for hoomans, whether Hooman's are there or not for them
