How much should your 5 year old black lab weigh?

Answer 1

A healthy, purebred Labrador retriever that is an adult should weigh between 65 and 75 pounds. Labs are prone to getting fat/obese because they have a slow metabolism, so even older Labs need plenty of exercise and not as much food as other breeds.

Answer 2

Most purebred male Labrador retrievers when full grown should weigh between 65 and 75 pounds. A Lab that is at a healthy weight will have a distinct waist when viewing his back from the top, and you will not be able to see any ribs, but if you stroke his sides you should be able to feel ribs. Labs put on weight easily and have slow metabolisms, so they need lots of exercise and a sensible, controlled diet.

Answer 3

My male lab turns a year old in a week and a half. He went to the vet today and weighs 78 pounds; the vet says he is the perfect weight for his body size. Typically they will weigh between 55 and 75 at year one depending one what type of lab and how big their parents are. This is the fifth lab I have had including the dogs I have grown up with; they have all varied greatly.

Answer 4

Depends on whether it is male or female, also whether it is an English Labrador or an American Labrador. I would estimate around 60-70lbs.

Answer 5

65 to 75 lbs
