Four Month old Labrador Puppy practices his tricks

We got Sebastian three weeks ago, the first week he was sick and slept all the time, the second we mostly spent teaching him ground rules for the house. This week, I worked on tricks.

In three days he is an expert at sit, has learned come(though he doesn't always do so in the house), and is getting better at lying down.

He is an excellent, beautiful dog.

I feed my Labrador with Pedigree Puppy Food and Boiled Meat with Potatoes but sometimes I give beef steak which is tender. Though he eats a lot he doesn't gain weight nor increase in size. I sent him to the vet and they dewormed him still he doesn't increase weight and size. He still thin and look like a malnourished cat. My Rottie does not each much but grows really big, but my lab is thin. Very strange.

@james1227 I'd switch off pedigree, and look for a high protein, high grade food. Sebastian gained the most weight when he was on a Blue Buffalo food. Pedigree doesn't have very much in the way of nutrients. If you can, see if you can find a pet food nutritionist to see. There are also other things that can cause this, healthwise. get the vet to check for things other than worms

Damn! Your Labradors big, my Lab looks like malnourished Cat and as thin as yours, but he is so small. I envy your lab. Though he's thin he's big alright.

Sebastian's about three now, and he's put on weight [though he's still not stocky/rotund like most labs] and looks much healthier. He's huge though, weighing in at 98 pounds!

What are you feeding your lab? Sebastian was certainly underweight in this video, as he had just gotten over a nasty case of worms that gave him a serious infection, and had JUST switched off a very low quality food. Labs certainly shouldn't be so thin

its extremely tin :$

@crazymariaisback  Thin? Well yes, he's thin for a lab. He still is, but he's seen a vet, he's perfectly healthy and eats plenty of good food--he's just thin! He's even thinner than usual here, because he was in that awkward half-puppy, growing-like-a-weed stage.

In my experience with Labrador puppies, the feed depends on what the breeder [If you bought from a breeder] was previously feeding the pups. He might need time to adapt to his new food. Try taking him to the vet, otherwise. My Labrador was fed on Pedigree and the vet said to carry on feeding her Pedigree until she was older to be able to adjust more easily. Try mixing half of what you're feeding him on now and half of what the breeder was feeding him. Then just add more each day.

@Ohsnapami yea its ok my lab is the same way plus he runs alot but we always go by what the vet tells us and also at each appointment they tell us to feed her a little more so he can grow up big and strong our labs only going to get up to 60 or 70 pounds his mother was 50 and his father was 70 so yea your dogs so adorable
