I was just wondering if any of your dogs have an increased appetite in the winter months? Mia always seems to be hungry at the mo, is it because of winter or because she has been spayed? Thank you  Smile

Spaying could increase the appetite as her chemical balance has been changed due to the operation. However, cold weather could also change her appetite it seems that Rocky is eating a little more in the winter.

They are prone to putting on weight after being spayed due to the change of the balance of hormones, maybe it's that Smile
