It could be that your dog will have more exercise when with the other dog therefore will have more of an appetite. He maybe needs a bit more of a walk. Be careful that you leave time between exercise and feeding though. Try some mental stimulation too by way of games where your dog has to work things out, hide food in toys, see link

It may also be that she is eating more because he is there and she wants to make sure he doesn't get it. Also, it could be she is getting more exercise playing with him so much. I wouldn't worry as long as she is healthy.
