Hi. I know labs are greedy dogs, but we are having problems where Harley (9.5weeks) barks and hangs around in the kitchen moping within a few minutes of eating. I don't know if she is still hungry or just being greedy??? She has 250g a day if Royal Canin! She also constantly eats grass and mud! Any advice or guidance is appreciated
Re: Hungry? If it's royal canin lab junior, 250g is a lot at 9.5 weeks. Sounds like you've got a normal Labrador there! I feed Charlie in kongs, chew toys, or by hand or in training treats. He is definitely better if he has spent 30 mins getting his food allowance out of a kong, rather than inhaling it from a bowl in 10 seconds flat...
Re: Hungry? My guess would be that Harley is feeling a little bored and is angling for attention. My dog is the same..we have a long walk in the morning and then he has his breakfast. Then we have our breakfast which Obi finds terribly boring (especially the bit where we have finished eating and are trying to read the latest posts on the Labrador Site!). There is usually a bout of whining and moaning at this point. We just ignore it (and over time it's getting better and better).
