Frequently asked questions

What health issues are common in Labradors?+
Labradors may be prone to weight gain, ear irritation, joint stress, and skin allergies. This guide is educational — for guidance specific to your dog, consult your veterinarian.
How often should my Labrador see the vet?+
Most healthy adult Labradors benefit from annual checkups. Senior Labs or those with weight or joint concerns may need visits every 6 months. Your vet will recommend the right schedule.
How do I check my Labrador’s ears?+
Look for redness, odor, discharge, or head shaking. Labradors’ floppy ears trap moisture, making ear issues more common. Clean gently and consult your vet if something looks off.
When should I call the vet?+
Contact your vet if you notice sudden changes in appetite, energy, mobility, stool, or behavior. Difficulty breathing, vomiting blood, or collapse warrant immediate care.
How do I track my Labrador’s health records?+
Use PetMyDear to log vaccinations, vet visits, medications, weight, and symptoms. An organized health history makes every vet conversation more productive.
