your dog bark after every meal...maybe he wants to say thanks to you for feeding him...lol...anyway I have no idea too about that....if he barks after every meal for a while I guess nothing wrong with that...barking is normal to dogs...

Hmm... That is weird. I have no experiance with that but did you change his food or anything? I guess the only thing you can do is correct him, stop his barking before he starts, if that makes sense

That's kinda weird. Is it because he doesn't want the food he has eaten? LOL. But for sure, he wants to say something.

maybe he's still hungry! that's what my puppy do when he's not yet full after a meal and he plays with his bowl too as if some dog food would appear magically in it!

Barking at Meal Time
Check out his ears! I know that sounds really weird but dogs who start to lose their hearing tend to become very vocal during random events (such as meal time)
My Shetland Sheepdog before she went deaf began to "talk" to us more in attempt to get our attention out of fear/confusion.
If the ears are okay then it is simply a bad habbit. Dogs are ALWAYS going to want more food, but don't give it to them. If I left food down all day my dogs would eat so much they'd self explode... so never let a dog's stomache be your guide.
Have him sit before getting his food, place it down, let him eat, pick it up again and make him sit again, place it down and let him finish. After meal time pick up the bowl and command/direct him out of the area laying down on his bed/crate/etc. Then correct any barking from a distance with a squirt bottle.

Did you noticed something on his physical health since the time he did that manner?
How long did he bark?
If you are too worried, ask some dog behavior experts or see a vet.
