This causes weight gain. My dog gains weight if I walk her any less than I usually do, but still clammors endlessly for food.

I've tried this experiment on myself with much the same results.

This is normal for dogs. They're always "starving".

It depends on the animal. The cats we had when I was growing up always had "unlimited" access to dry cat food and water, and it was only canned stuff we'd put out at specific meal times, and they never ate themselves fat.
