How to help my puppy gain weight, strengthen bones, and be healthy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 months old | 4 lbs

I got my lab when he was 35 days, fed him canine creek then but since it's been a month now and I notice no growth in him, vet suggested to shift to Royal Canin maxi starter. Please suggest how can I make him healthy and gain a little weight and strong bones. His bones also look too thin, and if I feed him little more his tummy bloats. Please note he has been dewormed once and had episodes of diarrhoea. Please help

I recommend another round or two of deworming and to start him on the Royal Canin large breed puppy formula. The Maxi may be the same formula, just check. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
