Labrador Retriever Ideal Weight Range
55–79 lbs
Labradors carry a well-documented deletion in the POMC gene that disrupts normal satiety signalling, meaning many Labradors feel genuinely hungry even after eating an adequate meal. This is not a behavioural issue, it is a genetic one. The same gene variant is also associated with higher body fat. For a breed where the drive to eat is hardwired, precise portion tracking is one of the most effective tools an owner has.
Your dog is more than a breed average.
A generic range is just a starting point. FitFido uses your dog's unique breed characteristics, age, body type, and activity level to calculate their target weight and construct a custom plan that adjusts as you progress.
Please note that a dog's ideal weight depends on many individual factors, including height, bone structure, and overall body condition.
