Labrador Retriever Health Guide
Labrador Retriever is the second most popular dog in America and the most beloved family dog for three decades. Lifespan: 10-12 years. Temperament: friendly, outgoing, active, trusting.
Labradors carry a POMC gene mutation that causes them to never feel full. This makes obesity their number one health risk and accelerates joint disease significantly.
Labs average $2,000-$5,000 in orthopedic-related vet costs over their lifetime.
