Answer
Why does your dog act hungry all of the time?? MOstly, I will guess, because he is a DOG!! LOL.Dogs are always hungry..no matter how much you feed them. I too, have three small dogs but guess what? I NEED MORE INFO FROM YOU IN ORDER TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION SATISFACTORILY. Wbat kind of Purina? Any supplements? Any veggies or fruits? How often do you feed? How MUCH ARE YOU FEEDING NOW?? Please write again and give me a bit more to go on so I can help you. But if your dogs are the correct weight and the vet says they are healthy, then you are ok...dogs DO ACT HUNGRY MOST OF THE TIME but please write again if you like. Susan

Expertise

Positive: understand dog food ingredients, types of supplements for different situations (mostly organic), types of home cooking, premium commercial foods, single/novel protein sources and switching to this diet, have represented Healthy Pet Net Company for two years and Simplexity Health Supplements for one year. Negative: Cannot and will not diagnose but via my experiences, strengths, trials with my own pets and discussions with nutritional experts will share my research and learning with you.

Experience

First and foremost living with rescue pets who came to me with a multitude of nutritional, dietary and physical problems. I still spend every free moment I have learning even more about how to make my pals even healthier and happier. But when something is not "broken" I do not try and fix it. I will write to people who have questions and ONLY share my own experiences with a food or product. The rest is up to them.
