Why Labrador Retrievers Are at Risk
Understanding the breed-specific factors that make fast eating dangerous for your Labrador Retriever.
POMC Gene Mutation
Many Labs carry a genetic mutation that impairs their ability to feel full, causing perpetual hunger and dangerously fast eating.
Deep Chest Build
Labs’ deep chest combined with their insatiable appetite creates the perfect conditions for gastric torsion and bloat.
Obesity Epidemic
59% of Labs are overweight or obese. The combination of overeating, fast eating, and excess weight dramatically increases GDV risk.
Labrador Retrievers have a genetically higher food drive, making them especially prone to fast eating. Veterinary research identifies fast eating as the #1 modifiable risk factor. A slow feeder is the simplest intervention you can make.
