My 8 almost 9 month old silver lab weighs 79 pounds. I am a little concerned about his weight based on what the internet says he should weigh at this age which is about 60-70 pounds. His Vet hasn’t mentioned anything to me about being overweight and just a few days ago when he went to the vet they said his legs are very lengthy. Is his weight normal for his age? Pls help I don’t want my pup to be obese!!!
Check that you can feel his ribs but can’t see them, check that you can see a clearly defined waist if looking at him from above and check that there is a visible “tuck” where the stomach meets the back legs. If the answer is no to any of these he could afford to lose a bit of weight.
