It is best to feed Labrador 4 times a day, and add food as little as possible. As much as possible, from the worst to the best; do not let the Labrador eat too much to avoid acute diseases such as gastric dilation; it must have an appropriate amount of exercise every day.

① Feed Labrador (Labrador retriever is referred to as Lala, the same below) at a regular, quantitative and fixed location. Timing can develop the dog's timing conditioned reflex, secrete gastric juice, increase appetite, and promote digestion and absorption. Generally, adult dogs are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and slightly more at night. Lala under 1 year old should be fed 3 times a day; Lala under 3 months old should be fed 4 times a day; puppies under 2 months old should be fed 5 times a day. The variety of dog food can be renovated, but the quantity should be relatively stable. The feeding location can be inside or outside the kennel, but dogs are generally fed in the kennel. The purpose of a fixed location is to keep the environment relatively stable and easy to manage. Some dogs will refuse to eat and lose appetite when changing feeding places.

②Except for summer, Lala should be fed warm feed. The temperature of the feed is preferably around 40°C, and should not be too cold or too hot; cold food can be fed in summer, and the feed must be heated in winter. It is best to keep the temperature around 35°C, which is not hot to the touch. Feed that is too hot will not only affect the appetite, but also burn the dog’s teeth; feed that is too cold will easily cause stomach upset.

③Each Lara tableware should be fixed and should not be used indiscriminately. When feeding multiple dogs, be especially careful not to exchange the food bowls of each dog to prevent the spread of disease. Wash after feeding and boil and disinfect regularly. A dog’s life is very regular, so it’s best to let Lala have her meal in its proper place.

④ Pay attention to Lala’s eating situation when feeding. If there is leftover food or no food, find out the cause and take timely measures. The leftover feed should be taken away immediately and should not be left for a long time for the dog to eat at any time.

⑤ Pay special attention to puppies and sick dogs. It is best to feed puppies 4 times a day. The food should be added from less to more, from worse to better. The fixed food amount should be added less and less, and it is not advisable to feed it very full. Sick dogs should be fed more liquid food, lean meat and eggs or non-irritating, easily digestible, nutritious sick food. Sick dogs should drink more cold boiled water. If the water is not enough, add it in time.

⑥Do not let Lala do strenuous exercise before and after feeding.
