Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Is this a purebred Labrador? If so, 40 pounds is very, very small. Have you had Dugan examined by a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical issues (ie: liver or kidney disease) as the cause for his small size? I suggest you do that before considering any supplements, etc to "boost" growth. Those supplements can be damaging if there is an underlying medical problem.
