Are you sure it's hunger, not greed?

How excessive? If truly so, then a vet check (including thyroid panel) may be required.

Check the food you are using. Is it providing enough nutrition to satisfy your dog's needs?

Tapeworm can make a dog more hungry, as can a malabsorption problem.
I would have a check up with the vet.
