Some dogs keep hanging around the dinner table or the kitchen waiting or even begging for food.  But if your dog suddenly engages in the behavior, there could be an important reason behind it, and it could be any of the following:

• Some dogs just never seem satisfied with the food on their bowls and want more. Some dogs are gluttons, and they will eat anything and everything if given half the chance, and especially if it’s people food. Human food should not be a part of your pet’s diet and you should try your best to avoid giving some to your pet on a regular basis. Take note that many types of human food are rich in fats and may cause digestive upsets or worse, pancreatitis. When you have the habit of handing out scraps during dinner time, your pet will eventually learn to beg and whine during mealtimes.
• Your dog’s behavior could also be that you’re not giving him enough food. Remember that as your pet grows, their caloric requirements changes thus make sure to make important adjustments to their diet.
