Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are an incredibly popular breed of dog known for their intelligence, loyalty, and loving personalities.
Labrador Retrievers are not considered hypoallergenic, unlike some other breeds. Allergies to animals are caused by proteins found in the pet's saliva, dander, urine, and even their fur. While all breeds of dogs produce the same kinds of allergens, they can differ in levels and will affect people differently. Generally, Labrador Retrievers have a higher level of allergens compared to other breeds and may be more likely to trigger allergic reactions. To reduce allergens, regular bathing and cleaning of a home is important.
An ideal diet for your Labrador Retriever should be based on the breed, age, and activity level of your pet. Depending on these factors, you may choose to feed your pup either a diet of both wet and dry food, or choose to feed them a diet of only dry food. Moreover, when deciding what food to feed your Labrador Retriever, you may want to opt for a formula that is specifically tailored to your pup based on their age or activity level.
Preparing your home for a new Labrador Retriever is an important part of assuring its long-term comfort and safety. Start by puppy-proofing your home, by making any necessary repairs, picking up or storing items that could be chewed on or ingested, and determining a safe outdoor area for your puppy to explore. Additionally, invest in crates, bedding, bowls, and chew-safe toys for your pup, and make sure to provide plenty of fresh water and quality food.
