What's the ideal weight for a 2-month Lab puppy and when can it wear a collar?

He should be ideally around 6kgs. 2.3 kgs is underweight and should be ideally checked by your local veterinarian to determine if there is any underlying health problem impairing his growth rate. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would be sure he is on a good quality large breed puppy food. I like Purina Proplan or the Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet puppy foods. Feed him more than the recommended amount on the bag. At 11 weeks old he should be seeing your Vet for vaccinations. Be sure he has had his stool tested for intestinal parasites and has been dewormed a few times. Parasites are a huge issues in all puppies. Good luck!

You can place one on him now for a few minutes to begin the acclimmation process. Gradually increase the amount of time he is wearing it. Make sure it is not too tight. No, it will not hinder his growth.

She looks cute and healthy. She also looks to be more of a field type lab which can be smaller than the more English show type labs. I expect her to mature around 50 lbs. or a little larger. Some dogs grow more slowly but will still reach their full normal mature weight, just later than other dogs. I don’t like to over feed as they can get fat and grow too quickly causing some bone growth problems. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Kala.

A Labrador puppy should be on a large breed puppy food until 15months. A starter food can be used from 2-8weeks as it can be easier to soften and can be fed slightly warm. Be sure to keep up to date with deworming medication and offer additional meals of scrambled egg, canned puppy food or boiled chicken to increase energy intake until stronger

Pedigree is fine, but you may want to feed multiple meals a Day to encourage weight gain. Has he seen a veterinarian yet? I assume you mean 7 weeks old. Not 7 Months. At this age he should start vaccinations and deworming with your veterinarian. They will likely also want to perform a fecal exam looking for other types of parasites. Good luck and I hope he does well.

Make sure Ruby is properly dewormed and feed her a high-quality large breed puppy food such as Royal Canin or Purina pro plan. Don’t be in a rush to put weight on her, she will gain it naturally. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
