Food hunting
Hope has been doing something lately that's driving me INSANE.
She keeps looking for food wherever we go. I know she's getting enough dog food according to her weight and size, not to mention dog treats, but it seems like she'll go out of her way to get at food. Including trying to eat dirty diapers she pulled out of the garbage... that was a mess I never want to repeat. We had one incident of her taking food out of the baby's hand, but the food was taken out of her mouth, she was scolded sternly and ignored for a while. (Namely until I got control of my temper and didn't want to rip my own hair out...) Is there any way to deter this? |

Insatiable appetite can indicate several diseases. If everything checks out ok, than increase the bulk fiber in her diet |
