In the early stages of pregnancy, the Labrador's need for food will increase significantly. As the fetus grows, the bulging abdomen will compress the stomach, causing the Labrador to eat less each time, or even eat less. You may experience a loss of appetite. These are normal phenomena and you don’t need to worry. In order to ensure that the Labrador and fetus can absorb sufficient nutrients, the number of daily feedings can be increased.
