Dogs of this large breed are prone to obesity. Excess weight affects fragile bones, leading to joint diseases: arthritis and arthrosis. Metabolism, heart performance is disrupted, kidneys and liver are affected. The susceptibility of animals to allergies is high. The diet of a Labrador retriever must be composed correctly, and food must be prepared to take into account the balance of all vital substances.
From an early puppy age, it is customary for breeders to feed Labradors with thick first courses and liquid cereals. In case of disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract, the dog is immediately transferred to a dietary, but complete food. It is difficult to organize a balanced menu at home, so many owners prefer to feed their pets with ready-made industrial feed.
