The reason I keep asking about the nutritional info on the bag....I'm far from a dog expert but I think that a 1 year old Lab should be on something formulated for large breed puppies. I'm curious to know if the food being fed is puppy food. If I remember correcty it would be a higher fat, higher protein base. My Lab died at 13 years old last November and once I got him off the large breed puppy food at age 2 he ate Natural Balance venison formula his whole life and never had any weight issues, never had any eating issues, etc.
Worms?

Only time I had issues with a pup was when he was on large breed food.If the dog is too thin, he needs more calories so realistically needs to be on a performance blend or a REGULAR puppy formula.WRL
I would continue to de worm him and give him some raw meat with plenty of fat . animals naturally add fat for the winter if he is active it wont be an issue . i'd keep him on puppy food intill he's two . also we found that carrots are great and good for there teeth.
I know this is really redneck but I've heard that Copenhagen gets rid of worms too?

My bother went to the doctor after he saw his own poop in the woods with worms. The doctor said that because he drank a couple of cups of coffee and chewed Copenhagen the worms were on an exit strategy....If third world countries they will give coffee grounds or tobacco leaves to chew on to expell worms and other parasites.
My lab is not putting on weight. I can see his vertebrae and hip bones. I feed him at the top of the recommended serving chart on the back of the bag. He is fed Nutra nuggets. He is active and happy. He will fetch until exhaustion. What gives? Thanks
