:rolleyes: I know this might be a stupid question, however does anyone else find their amimals get more hungry in cold weather.I know my cats eat more this time than any other time of the year.Should I give Sabrina some supplements,please give me some advice.

Does she live indoors or outdoors? If she's an indoor dog, don't feed her any more, unless you up her exercise, too. The extra fat won't do her any good and will shorten her lifespan.

You know...it's funny you should ask. This just came up at my house last night. I fed Vegas at her normal time (around 5:00), and she gobbled it down. Then, around 10:30, Brian was getting all the stuff together for Vegas to go up north tonight, and he was filling bags with her food. She stood by her dish ACTING like she was hungry. So, what does Brian do, he FEEDS HER AGAIN!!! Arrrggghhh!! He said she LOOKED hungry!!

If anything, I would lower the food amounts a bit in the winter as the amount of exercise dogs get usually decreases as well.

I do increase the amount only because the exercise goes up as well. Being a cold-weather dog, he's much more active in late fall-winter-early spring than he is in summer and early fall. It also coincides with duck season so there is lots of swimming in late fall early winter.

Susie eats more in the winter and is more frisky. I posted a while ago "When do most labs get their winter weight gain" as Susie already got hers and everyone said their lab doesn't gain. Well, Sue does every year and loses it every spring. I thought they all did it but she must be unique.
