My Mishka will be 4 months old on the 12th of this month. She is growing nicely and training is going quite amazing! We are currently feeding her PMR, which has also been going well. I just have one concern, she seems to be hungry constantly!

She is is getting anywhere from 1.5 to 2 pounds a day. Her main protein is either chicken or duck, depending on the day. She also gets beef 2 or 3 times a week. We tried rabbit, but she said NO to that. Lol

Just wondering if this is normal for her age. I know she's growing like crazy, I just want to make sure I'm giving her the best nutrition possible.

We are introducing venison and goat in a few weeks.

Also, she does have a vet appt. on Saturday and I hope to ask the vet about it then. Just a routine visit

At her age, she's likely to eat a lot more. Also, you have to remember that raw meat doesn't sit in their stomach like kibble does, so they'll be hungrier than they would if they were on dry. But yeah, it's mostly due to her growing and needing extra.

I mean, I'm not doing raw with my dog(yet... ), but this is from what I've read personally.

How many times a day are you feeding her? How much does she weigh? How much did her parents weigh?

I dont know much about raw. But i noticed you said u are taking her to the vet saturday. Just know that some vets dont like the whole raw thing. So just be prepaired for that.

I dont feed raw, but rikku is constantly hungry, ive never seen how much she'll put down but i do not believe there is an off switch and i know im feeding her enough. some dogs just have a higher food drive.

Both my huskies have always been major foodies, always acting like they haven't eaten in days. Titan is 4 months now and scarfs whatever I put in his crate. I wouldn't be too concerned about it unless she is starts to look a bit skinny or chunky.

London will easily eat a 3 lb bunny in one sitting if I let her she doesn't self regulate and always acts like I'm starving her. I just check her ribs everyday and adjust her meal either more or less based on that
