#6 Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers are prone to obesity, so free feeding this breed should not become a habit. We know that your buddy loves biscuits, but in order to keep him at a healthy weight, you should also minimize the number of treats he can have.

Allergies are another problem for our beloved Labrador Retrievers. They frequently suffer from allergies caused by environmental factors. Your Lab’s skin may be itchy due to mold, dust mites, and pollen. 

Moreover, food sensitivities can also create discomfort for your lab. Some symptoms that we should be aware of are vomiting, diarrhea, itchy skin, and poor skin and coat.
