    Lab not eating
    From an email:
    > I have 2 labs the one is 4 and she scarfs it down fast then my other
    > one is 1 and he barely eats his food I only feed them once a day should I
    > be worried?

    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/i...tml#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.
