It is unusual for a Lab not to be an eager eater. You need to go through the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post254171 Note the link on maintaining ideal body condition. I once had one that even after switching to a concentrated chow, you could still see his ribs a little.

Post back if you have questions after going through the sticky.

I agree with the site policy of not asking or answering questions by PM or email.

Maybe it he/she needs more exercise to make them hungrier. Take your dog to the vet and get it checkes out if this has been going on for a long time
