You want what’s best for your pup but you don’t want to brake your bank account while trying to give Fido to the best. We review some of the dietary needs of Labrador Retriever in regards to dog food.

  The rule of thumb for feeding is to follow the guidelines on the dog food bag and keep an eye on your dog’s weight. Your dogs are very young so they will be a bit chubby but just use your gut and consult with your vet. When they get older, you should be able to feel their ribs when you run your hands down their sides but not see them. That is the perfect weight.
