Labs are pretty voracious eaters and have a tendency to put on weight.In
fact so many pet Labradors are overweight that many people who see the
Labs in our Detector Dog Unit think they're underweight. Um, no, just
fit! I dogsat a friend's Lab (her retired dog from work) and was
standing with her at the local shops when someone asked what breed she
was. When I explained she was a Labrador they said - oh, I've only ever
seen fat ones :-). Not sure about Chows eating/weight gain tendencies.

Probably more portion control for him would be good.
