Hello. I have a 7 months old male Labrador...i want to ask where should I keep him.. I mean should I let him roam in the house or keep in a separate room. Can keeping him in a separate room make him sad.and one more thing I give him pedigree puppy to eat. So should I give him dry or first soak it in water and then give It to him???

Most labs are into chewing things they shouldn't. This not only destroys your things but it can also lead to poisoning and to a potentially fatal intestinal blockage. For this reason, I recommend crate training and keeping Simba in the crate until he has outgrown the desire to chew things up. It is fine to keep the crate in your room. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-dog/ Also, Simba is still growing so he needs to eat a large breed puppy formula. Pedigree is fine as long as it is large breed. You can also feed him the kibble dry, it does not need to be soaked. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
