My Dogs are always hungry

Do you have any other evidence of worms? Do your dogs look sick?

If you feel parasites are a possible problem, get a stool sample to the vet.  If you are feeding an inexpensive grocery store brand, there may not be adequate nutrition for their needs.  If you are feeding with they give you the "look", they arent hungry, they are training you.

No they look fine, always running around, but i know that they don't do that much exercise which could explain their hunger!!

What kind of food do you suggest?
and i don't understand what do you mean by the "look"?
and can dogs eat even when they are not hungry?

You are probably spending a ton of money, making your dogs fat, and not giving them adequate nutrition.  I feed Innova Evo, and while it's expensive, they don't need nearly as much.  BTW, never judge how much to feed by looking at the label.  Judge by the dog's condition.  A healthy dog of most breeds should have just enough meat on the bones so that you can feel his ribs, but not see them. (Exceptions include some of the sighthounds, that are naturally "ribby" looking.)  The dog should have a defined waistline behind the ribcage.

And, yes, many dogs will eat when they aren't hungry.  In the wild, they might not make a kill every day, so when they do, they gorge.  With humans feeding them, no need to gorge, but the tendency hasn't gone away. []

i feed them Dog Show, but i'm seriously thinking of shifting to Pedigree moist food and home cooking or add dry food to moist food.
Also i would like to know what is the amount of exercise a 7 month dobe requires?

If your dogs are hungry then I might suggest portioning out the meals.  Overweight dogs are a huge problem and lead to huge health problems so feeding the correct amount is important.
 
Feed the same amount but spread it out.  Also make it more challenging to eat the food so that it last longer and the dog feels like it's eating more, for example put the food in ice trays or something that is not a regular dog bowl, even putting obstacles in the bowl like a tennis ball will slow the eating down a bit so that it takes time to eat it and becomes more of a game.  Or even freeze some of the food it in ice cubes.

Did you mean "Dog Chow"?
I don't know if you are feeding a puppy formula, and at 7 months these dogs still require a puppy formula.
If you are interested in feeding a better quality food just let us know, we will be happy to help you with some information.

in my experience, dog sees food= dog is hungry.  Feed your dog by his body condition, not by how much he his willing/able to eat.
Dogs who scarf dry food out of bowls are usually never satisified with their meals. It's dry, a very unnatural state of food that is non-bulky, and they are done in seconds. If you feed the dog out of a food-dispensing toy the dog will spend half an hour eating the same amount of food and act much more satistifed with the diet.
 
Might want to go to Nutrition board for some actual advice on what type of food to feed.

And then there are dogs that no matter what you do will literally eat themselves sick. I have one of those. I feed a good quality kibble (Natural Blanance Ultra Premium), give recreational marrow bones, feed out of treat-dispensing toys, etc... and all those things are valuable for both physical and mental health and I'd never not do them, but Marlowe will forever and always be a dog who does not know when to stop eating. If given kibble in a bowl he bolts it, any food present at any other time, human or otherwise, piques his interest seriously, if allowed access to a full bag of dog food, he will literally eat until it is coming back out of both ends. He is always looking for more food.

Dogs are kinda like kids. They don't really always know what's best for themselves, and it's up to us to set the limits and rules so they don't harm themselves. Feed a high quality kibble (something you can't buy at a grocery store) or do home prepared or raw, avoid feeding out of a bowl and make mealtimes challenging, but those things won't gaurentee that your dog won't constantly act like he's starving to death. They will however help you to have a physically and mentally sound dog and you'll know, no matter how he acts, that you're fulfilling his nutritional and behavioral needs.

Ah, the joys of owning a hound....[]
