general characteristics - Labrador Retriever

 

Labrador is an intelligent, active, playful and sociable dog, she always strives to please and wants to make friends with everyone. She gets along great with children, but she won't make a security guard. The most that a Labrador will do when he sees a stranger is bark, but immediately wag his tail and try to please. Therefore, it is not recommended to train this breed in guarding and defensive skills.

Feeding

Every owner dreams of seeing his dog healthy, active and cheerful.

And, as you know, the basis of health is proper, nutritious and balanced nutrition. Even if you buy the freshest and highest quality food, buy vitamins and mineral supplements, without a biochemical laboratory you will not be able to determine the exact nutritional value of food you cook at home. That is why PEDIGREE® has developed a special app to help you assess how the diet you feed your pet is meeting his needs.

Proper nutrition in the first year of a puppy's life largely determines how healthy and joyful your puppy will be in the future. Taking care of your pet's health, PEDIGREE® recommends combining dry and wet diets to take full advantage of the benefits of both. You can read more about this in the article.
