My 7 month old lab is underweight. I guess he wont weigh more than 4 kg. I feed him pedigree. What else can I feed him?

Pedigree is fine, but you may want to feed multiple meals a Day to encourage weight gain. Has he seen a veterinarian yet? I assume you mean 7 weeks old. Not 7 Months. At this age he should start vaccinations and deworming with your veterinarian. They will likely also want to perform a fecal exam looking for other types of parasites. Good luck and I hope he does well.
