My new very fat lab

We currently own two labs, one 11 yrs and one two yrs.

The two yr old is my service dog. We feed them once a day; dog food only! (Except for an occasional treat of banana for my younger dog)

Due to allergies our 11 yr old is on grain-free food (it is expensive!)

The others were fed a good brand such as Pedigree.

We always make sure there is LOTS of exercise- a favorite is fetch with the tennis ball.

We also make sure they have PLENTY of water, for drinking and laying in! (We keep a ‘kiddie pool’ in the back yard during the summer)

I check their ears and paws once a week; keeping both clean and trimmed. REGULAR VET VISITS ARE VITAL!!!

Keeping up to date shots for Rabies and Bordetella, along with flea & heartworm treatments.

Your local AKC club offers training classes in obedience and agility along with high intensity exercise classes like flyball.

All of these are well worth the $$ & time involved.

Labs are VERY energetic and need LOTS of exercise and attention; if they don’t get it they will start DESTROYING everything they come in contact with! 🙂

You will never find a more loving and loyal friend and every moment you spend with your lab means more to them than you could ever know!
