As dog pooper scoopers, we always want to provide the best life and diet for them. However, it's always confusing to determine if your dog is getting enough to eat or not.


Too little food affects your dog's health, while too much can lead to obesity and other health problems. Today, we are going to share a few tricks that will make it easy for you to determine whether your dog is full or not, and pet feeding is no longer confusing!

1. Observe your dog's behaviour.
(1) Post-meal status Look at your dog's behaviour after eating. If the dog goes to play immediately after eating and is in good spirits, it means it is probably full. If it continues to burp, lick its mouth, or even hang around the bowl, it may indicate that it still feels hungry.


(2) Water Consumption A healthy dog will naturally drink water after eating. If you notice that he doesn't go for a drink after eating, it may mean that he has had enough food to satisfy his needs, otherwise you may need to check if the amount of food is reasonable.

2. Touch your dog's tummy.
Touching your dog's tummy is also a way to determine whether it is full. You can gently stroke its belly:
- Moderate bulge: If your dog's tummy is slightly bulging and feels a little soft to the touch, it has eaten a moderate amount of food and is probably full. - Excessive bulging: If his tummy is particularly bulging and feels hard to the touch, excessive bulging may mean that he has eaten too much and needs to adjust his diet in time. - Sunken tummy: If the tummy is flat or even a little concave to touch, it means it may not have eaten enough.


3. Pay attention to weight changes.
Weighing your dog regularly can help owners keep track of its diet. A healthy dog should maintain a stable weight:
- Normal weight: If the weight stays within the proper range, it indicates a proper diet.
- Fluctuating weight: If the dog continues to gain or lose weight, it may be necessary to re-evaluate its diet plan and exercise.


4. Observe food leftovers.
The speed and amount of food a dog eats can also reflect its hunger:
- Appropriate amount of food: Eating food quickly and eating it all within a certain period of time indicates that it has about the same amount of food.
- Food leftover: If it is not finished and there is leftover after each feeding, it may indicate that you feed it too much.


5. Pay attention to your dog's mental state.
The dog's state of mind is also an important indicator. Observe the dog's behavioural changes diligently:
- Energetic: The dog is active and happy, indicating proper nutritional intake.
- Listlessness: If the dog looks tired and lazy, it may be related to improper diet or insufficient nutrition.


6. Proper Feeding Programme.
In order to help your dog maintain a healthy diet, a suitable feeding programme is also necessary:
- Split feeding: Divide the daily amount of food into two to three feedings to help the dog maintain a stable sense of satiety.
- Choosing the right dog food: According to different dog breeds and your dog's age and weight, choose the right dog food to ensure complete nutrition is provided.

It's not easy to tell if your dog is full, but by observing behaviour, touching its stomach and noting its weight, we can get a better idea of its needs.
