However, some dogs might actually eat more when they’re feeling down

Just like many of us might find ourselves snacking more during stressful times, some dogs can actually experience an increased appetite when dealing with low mood.

“Dogs can be like people – some will eat less when under stress and some will eat more. Some dogs are so food driven that you may not see a change in its appetite,” Jones explained.

If you are feeding your dog enough for their size, age, and breed and you know they’re not pregnant, try chatting with your vet about your dog’s increased appetite.
