Can I feed cerelac for 1month old labrador puppy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can. Just lessen the amount. I fed my 2 month old labrador then (now she's 6 months) with Cerelac Chicken and Vegetable flavor. I just put 1 small scoop in her food bowl and a 1/4 cup of water. She was so crazy about it! It only served as a food supplement to her daily diet. She eats a good quality dry dog food though. Your pup will benefit a lot. Mine now is so healthy, big in size, in perfect weight, zero visit to the vet and am looking forward for a maximum growth he could possibly attain. Labradors are still puppies until 1 year. Mature Labradors starts at 18 months actually.

What are the characteristics of a labrador retriever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Collies are wonderful dogs, they have fantastic personalities too. They are sweet, loyal and intelligent. They are from Europe and we can guess the origin was around Scotland. They are usually around 1 1/2 feet to 2 feet. They can weigh anywhere from 50 to 80 pounds and there life span is around 14-15 years. They are generally very easy to train (potty train included) and are very friendly too. they are also great family dogs, they are good with kids and other dogs and need moderate to low exercise. They can live in small apartments with daily exercise. They are almost always friendly towards strangers and are very good in cool weather. In hot weather they can get very hot because of there thick double coat. The thick double coat helps keep the dander in so they are more hyper-allergenic then some other dos. The brushing and general grooming is not the easiest but it is a great time to bond with your dog.

I would recommend to everyone to get a rough collie, they are the best animals, let alone dog, EVER!!!!!!!

A female dogs name is a Bitch.

A male dog is just called a dog, unless you are using him for breeding; in which case he will show as the 'Sire' on the pedigree. A female dog is called a bitch, if using her for breeding, she will show as the 'Dam' on the pedigree.

How much should your 5 year old black lab weigh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Where do labrador retrievers get their name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Labrador Retrievers are a kind of cousin of the Newfoundland. Both are hunting or sporting dogs, and both originated in the same area, but since the name Newfoundland was already taken, the Lab was named for the sea that they worked in. The Labrador Sea. The dogs worked as fishing dogs, retrieving fish that fell out of nets or got away. The labs had to be bred to be able to withstand the cold waters, so they have a double coat and what breeders call a "soft mouth." This ensured that the dogs would not damage the fish that they retrieved. Hope this helped!

In order to develop the necessary social skills needed, puppies should leave their mothers NO EARLIER than 8 weeks of age. After they have left their mothers, they will still need extensive socialization during their first year to insure that they become temperamentally sound adults.

Where is labrador?

Asked by Wiki User

Labrador retrievers are a `breed' of dog, in that it was cross bred with another type of dog to attain special characteristics. If you do a websearch for `labrador retriever' on the internet, you'll be amazed at the info you can find. My last dog was a Labrador, as was the one before him and perosnally, I wouldn't have any other breed. They're absolutely lovely (and yeah, that IS a biased opinion). One of their interesting characteristics, and a reason they're such great swimmers, is that Labradors have webbed feet. YES THEY DO EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Plants do dogs hate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Just like some people have no allergies and some have allergies but to different plants than other people, dogs are the same way. If your dog scratches a lot during certain seasons but you don't see any sign of fleas, they might have allergies.

More important is to make sure that dogs don't eat plants that can make them very sick or kill them. In the related links below there is a list, with photos, of such plants.

Why are white boxers yellow?

User Avatar

Asked by Shadowmax

They are just white because of the genes. Like humans have different hair colour, their coat is different. The white coat is created when both mother and father are carriers of the gene that makes up the white coat.

What color puppies will a yellow labe have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The puppies would be labs (like the mom and dad) ,but the color or colors would depend entirely on which color genes they received from each parent.

The black color is dominant; the possibilities for a black puppy are EEBB, EEBb,EeBB, or EeBb. The possibilities for a yellow puppy are eeBB, eeBb, or eebb. Both EEbb and Eebb would produce a chocolate lab. So, to be yellow, the puppy must receive the 'e' gene from both parents, and to be chocolate, the puppy must have received the 'b' gene from both parents--any other combination will produce a black puppy.

It should be noted that the combination of eebb will always produce a dog that is yellow, but that has chocolate pigmentation around its eye rims, and on its nose. This is not currently an 'accepted' color for registration with the AKC.

Wait what would the majority of the puppies be? Black, yellow, or chocolate?

There is also times where is a greyish color, but its rare.

We had two black labs stay with us for several months. The female had 9 puppies, 5 were yellow labs, 4 were black, both parents were black labs.

How much exercise does a black lab need?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lots of exercise is good for every dog, but the Labrador Retriever part will require a fair amount. If the "doodle" is from a full-size hunting poodle, then that part will call for a lot of exercise, too.

If they whine and bark a lot, or chew up household items, then you can be sure that the dog needs more exercise and play.

What do Labradors like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Labrador Retrievers are dogs used to retrieve hunting game after it has been hunted. They would probably enjoy fetching toys like tennis balls, frisbees, anything that you can throw. A squeaker is a plus. Every dog is diffrent though, and may like the exact opposite of the standard.

Why do black labs cross their paws?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are just resting. This is not really a breed trait, many dogs do this, but you will see it often on dogs, like labs, who have longer legs in proportion to their bodies (also called "up on leg"). For example, the Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound) dogs are more often seen with their front paws crossed than out straight. It is probably the most comfortable position for them when on the floor.

How do you teach your lab to get along with other dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Rstarfreak

You have to train it.

Pick the dog you want to be dominant. Tie or pen the non-dominant chosen dog and feed both dogs with one penned and one free. Takes a few times, but the free dog establishes dominance.
