My 7-month-old Black Lab is always hungry. Is it a puppy thing?

Question

I have a 7 month old Black Lab right now I feed him Purina One Large Breed and seems to do fine on this food, however he always seems hungry. Is this just a puppy thing or should I feed higher quality food. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 60 lbs

Puppies, and Labradors especially, tend to be food motives and some of them can be food obsessed. May sure your puppy is not too thin, if he is then increase the food. Purina 1 is a good diet but if you are looking to change, Royal Canin makes a diet specifically for Labs and it addresses their healthy appetites! They make a puppy and an adult formula and the pets tend to do really well on this diet. Adding canned veggies can also help him to feel full. Get the no salt added variety and watch for any diarrhea as it increases his fiber. Stick to peas, carrots or green beans. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
