What is the best way to feed a Labrador? Labradors should be weaned around 6 weeks after they are born, and can eat normal food from now on. They should be fed 3-4 times a day; after weaning to about 3 months, Labradors should be properly controlled. More feeding time, from the 5th month to the 8th month, you can feed 3 times in the morning, noon and evening; from 6 months to 1 year old after birth, you can feed more animal protein foods.

Labrador puppies are weaned about 6 weeks after they are born, and can eat regular food from now on, but within 1-6 months of birth, we must ensure that they are fed 3-4 times a day.

From the time Labrador is weaned to about 3 months old, we can properly control Labrador’s feeding time. The feeding time is set at 7 a.m., 12 noon, 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. 4 times a day. From the 5th to 8th month after birth, Labrador puppies can be fed three times in the morning, noon, and evening. During this period, the amount of food given to Labrador puppies is approximately one-third to half of that of adult dogs.

In the months from 2-3 months after weaning to within 3 months, the food composition of the Labrador puppy will determine its lifelong eating habits. If you plan to continue to feed special dog food in the future, you must adapt it to the taste of special dog food during this period of time.

If you plan to raise them with family meals in the future, the food should be mainly animal protein and feed more high-calorie foods. When puppies are 2-3 months old, the meat should be cut into fine pieces before feeding them because their teeth and lower jaw are not yet fully developed. Milk, butter, cheese, etc. are also suitable. But don’t give them hard bones, etc. yet.

The period from 6 months to 1 year old after birth is approximately equivalent to a human teenager, so a Labrador can develop into a young Labrador equivalent to an 18-year-old in one year. This period is the period when the dog is growing most vigorously, and the calories it consumes are about twice as much as it grows, so it can feed more animal protein foods.

A small Labrador with good quality will not be able to grow into a good dog if it is not properly raised and managed. If it is not raised properly, it will not be possible to grow into a good dog. Especially the 6 months after a baby Labrador is born is its growth period, which is also an important period for bone formation and determining whether the dog will grow well or not. The management of this period is very important, and breeders should pay more attention to it.

In terms of diet, fresh drinking water must be replaced morning and evening, and a certain amount must be maintained. The gastrointestinal tract of small Labradors is generally very weak, so it is best to feed soft food with less fiber, otherwise it will be difficult to digest and absorb, let alone raw meat. For Labradors aged 2 to 6 months, they should still be fed food that is easy to digest and absorb to avoid indigestion and diarrhea. For example, baby food, high-fine corn flour. Beef, pork, fish, fresh vegetables and rice that people eat can be used to feed Labradors. When feeding Labrador dogs, corn flour, vegetables, and meat should be chopped into pieces and cooked into porridge, and an appropriate amount of salt should be added (as much as a person can eat). However, vegetables should not be cooked for too long to avoid overcooking.Destroy vitamin content. The amount of food should be determined by the type of dog and the dog's diet. It can be fed 3 to 4 times a day. As the weight increases, the amount of food should also increase accordingly. At the same time, you can add a small amount of calcium powder or a few drops of vitamins A and D to the food three times a day, but it must be added after the food has cooled.

In the early stages of feeding, give it plenty of food, but don’t let it eat until the feeding time. Wash utensils every day and continue to provide them with enough clean water. When feeding smaller Labrador puppies or toy dogs, when the weaning period is reached, the food must be mixed with water to soften it before feeding. If you are feeding professional dry dog ​​food or canned dog food, please follow the instructions on the product packaging.
