Why Does My Dog or Cat Seem Hungry After I Feed the Recommended Portion?

If your pet seems extra hungry after switching to PawPots, don’t worry, you’re not alone! It’s totally normal, and it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not getting enough food.

Fresh meals like PawPots smell better, taste better, and have a softer texture than processed food, so it’s no surprise your dog or cat gets more excited at mealtime. That excitement can easily be mistaken for hunger, but in most cases, it just means they’re loving their new meals!

We carefully calculate your pet’s portion based on their age, weight, activity level, and overall needs. If you’re ever unsure, the best way to check if your pet is eating enough is by keeping an eye on their weight over time.

How to Monitor My Dog or Cat’s Portion Over Time?

1. Initial Weigh-In: Before switching to fresh food, give your pet a quick weigh-in to set a starting point.

2. Regular Monitoring: Check your pet’s weight every 2–3 weeks and adjust portions if needed:

• ✅ Stable weight? You’re right on track—the portion is just right.

• 📈 Gaining weight? You might need to reduce the portion slightly.

• 📉 Losing weight or feeling low on energy? A small increase could help.

Can PawPots help my pet lose or gain weight?

Absolutely! Whether your pet needs to slim down a little or gain healthy weight, we’re here to help. Just like with people, it all comes down to daily calorie intake and how their body uses that energy. We’ll guide you with portion adjustments and check-ins to help your pet reach their ideal weight, at a safe and steady pace.
