9. ALLERGIES IN LABs: - the breed is more prone to allergies when compared to any other breed because their immune system produces IgE.

• Food allergies: -

Common ingredients that cause food allergies are beef, corn, soy, fish, egg, chicken.

Symptoms  - itchiness, swelling, hair fall, skin or ear infection.

Though all these can be easily treated by the vet, but it is recommended to feed proper diet to your furry buddy.

• CONTACT ALLERGIES: -

These allergies occur when your lab gets in contact with any allergic plants, dust, pollens, grass, wood etc;. But it is suggested to take advice from the vet before giving any medications.

• FLEA & TICK ISSUES: -

This is also one of the common allergy caused when a flea bites the dog and inserts the saliva into the body. It mostly suffers the back or tail of the dog.

Symptoms : - itchiness, hair loss.

Medication: - Nutricoat advance, Notix shampoo, and powder

• Treatment :-

Make sure you carefully observe the dog and also try to remove all the traces of the dog and house as well ie; cleaning. This problem is prone during summers only, it is suggested to give your dog extra preventive care.

10. EXERCISE–

The lab has a cardiovascular system which means their body gets more healthy with the amount of physical exercise they do. It’s often a dilemma for a pet owner as for how often and how much exercise to be done. It depends on the dog. As some of them stay fit with limited walk whereas some needs extra work. Exercise no doubt increases health, growth, physical activity, life span etc. So, take your lab for long walks on a daily basis, involve him in work and other activities as well.

11. TRAINING:-

Lab’s are highly sociable, adaptable, loyal, friendly, kind, affectionate, obedient, agile, intelligent as many adjectives can be used. In short, they are considered as the best buddy. This is because of their mellow personality, kid-friendly, even temperament, trusting but cannot be considered as guard dogs obviously for their friendly temperament.

But this doesn't mean they are lethargic, no a big NO they love to work, they are a quick learner as well. If you want to go for long walks best to go with your furry friend. They are sporting as well, their immense love for water, swimming, they love to play frisbee, flyballs etc.

So, when it comes to training they are a quick learner, leash training is recommended for them.

Here I am suggesting some treats that will be beneficial to you while giving training. Jerhigh, Beapher puppy trainer (liquid).
