I have been feeding Jazz Natures Variety raw for several weeks now. She eats twice a day, and the pkg says she should eat 4-5 medallions a day and I am feeding her 6 already. She seriously appears to be hungry all day long and by the time I do feed her she inhales her food within seconds. What do you think is going on?
Jazz is always hungary

How is her body condition? Can you see slightly see ribs or not?

I think she has too many carbs in her diet. Carbs have a tendency to make people hungry. May have the same effect on dogs. Nature's variety raw has a lot of carbs.
It also may be that he just loves his new food and wants some all the time whether he is hungry or not.

I think you have a dog.:wink:
Have you considered a more appropriate raw diet? NV has a lot of extras in it. I think of it more as "raw kibble" than an appropriate raw diet. PMR is much more ideal, and MUCH more affordable!

I would say that as long as your dog looks good then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Corgipaws is right though. Doing raw on your own is MUCH cheaper than buying pre-made raw and you have much more control 
Do you have a picture of your dog so we can see how he looks?

As an aside, have you confirmed that the NV raw you're feeding hasn't been recalled?
