    Re: iam having doubt in weight

    I've just left a comment on your other thread Lokesh asking for some more background and information.
    This is a topic that comes up quite frequently ...I'm going to find some of the older threads for you now....
    What it is important to note is ,Labradors can all be exactly the same age but their weight can vary greatly,their build/shape/ physique/ height will be a factor in what is their healthy weight.
    We have Penny on here who is 19 kgs and Sam who is 38 kgs !both Labradors but a massive difference.
    Give me some time and I will direct you to the other discussions

    Lokesh can you post a current photo of your pup? As Angela said all pups and dogs vary so much. It is easier to look at a photo to advise on weight :)

    To me your dog looks underweight and certainly doesn't need any kind of diet. What do you feed your dog each day?

    Ah we can see him now but I'll still send you a couple of these links through now that I've looked them up.

    Totally agree with Barbara and Rachael...he doesn't need to be put on a diet...

    Is his worming treatements up to date and are you feeding him the amount recommended by RC?

    Yes, your pup is much too skinny and needs more food each day. You should not be able to see the ribs.

    You need to feed a quality food, not rice or bread or anything like that. Royal Canin is fine but you need to feed more of it. How much are you feeding in total, if you add all meals together?

    Do you have a more recent photo? I see the photo was originally posted in June aswell when we discussed worming your dog.

    If she still looks like this you need to feed her more Royal Canin as Rachel has suggested.

    Yes, I remember that photo. Its over 2 months old before you saw the vet and got worming treatment ? Do you have an up to date picture ?

    On June 24 you said your pup had been dewormed and was now putting on weight and was fine. Can you post an up to date photo, so we can get a better idea?

    Your dog has stopped growing taller, Sussex, but may still gain some muscle.
