Our DDog has over the last three weeks become ravenous - we are giving him extra of his kibble as he only ever eats this on its own if he is definitely hungry. He is getting through twice the amount he normally does.
He is tipping his bowl over all the time and eating off the floor, when he only used to do this occasionally.
He is obsessively stealing food. If we open cupboards he is shoving to get in so he can try and grab something. He is shoving and jumping at food shopping bags when we come in to get at the food. He is stealing food off the counter. All things he didn't do before.
He has been wormed, no sign of worms. Bowel habits all fine.
He doesn't appear to have put weight on. He had cruciate ligament repair at start of year so lost muscle mass and we were careful with his food consumption whilst he was on restricted exercise. Since then he has also gone deaf so can't hear when we say no or tell him what to do.
Has anyone experienced similar or has any thoughts?
We've thought about taking him to vets but he is happy and perky. No sign of being ill, just this weird food behavior
