HEALTH & NUTRITION

Labrador Retriever Health Risks and How Food Can Help

Knowing your Labrador Retriever's vulnerabilities helps you make smarter feeding decisions.

A lighter meal should still feel like a meal worth wagging for. Tom&Sawyer’s low-fat recipes are chef-crafted with human grade ingredients and developed with animal nutritionists and vets to support complete, balanced nutrition dogs can actually get excited about.

Itchy Paws & Skin

Labrador Retrievers are prone to skin and paw irritation, with food allergens and low-quality protein sources among the most common dietary triggers.

Arthritis & Joint Pain

Labs are highly active but carry significant weight, making joint degeneration and hip issues common as they move into their middle and later years.

Sensitive Stomach

Labrador Retrievers frequently experience digestive sensitivity driven by low-quality proteins, excess fat, and the fillers in commercial dog food.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Labrador Retrievers

Tom&Sawyer dog meals are formulated for adult maintenance. If you have a Labrador Retriever puppy, speak with your veterinarian about their growth-stage nutrition needs, since large breed puppies may need careful support during development. In Canada, Puppy Booster may be available for some puppies, but it is not available in the U.S. and should be used only when appropriate for your dog.

For Labrador Retrievers, prioritize recipes with a named animal protein as the first ingredient, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. Look for whole vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and no artificial preservatives or fillers. Given that Labrador Retrievers are prone to itchy paws & skin, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.

Yes, gently-cooked dog food is an excellent choice for Labrador Retrievers. Cooking at low heat preserves the natural vitamins and minerals found in fresh ingredients, which are often destroyed in high-heat kibble manufacturing. Labrador Retrievers with itchy paws & skin especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.

Most adult Labrador Retrievers do best with two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Labrador Retriever puppies typically need three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times help regulate digestion and energy levels, which is especially important for Labrador Retrievers prone to arthritis & joint pain.

The best protein sources for Labrador Retrievers are high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Labrador Retrievers prone to itchy paws & skin, a single-protein or limited ingredient recipe can help identify and avoid triggers. Tom&Sawyer uses human grade meat in every recipe, with no byproducts or mystery proteins.

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Labrador Retrievers, this matters because it eliminates the low-quality byproducts and fillers found in most commercial pet food. Tom&Sawyer prepares all meals in a human grade kitchen in Canada, regulated to AAFCO standards.

Labrador Retrievers feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Labrador Retrievers do well with two meals per day, morning and evening. Use the Tom&Sawyer Feeding Calculator to get a portion size tailored specifically to your dog.
