How a Labrador retriever’s genes might affect the dog’s obesity risk

81% Informative
Labradors with a certain variant of a gene called DENND1B had around 8 percent more body fat than dogs without it.
Dogs with a lower genetic risk tended to stay at a fairly healthy weight, regardless of how their owner fed them.
Do you need a genetic test to determine whether your Labrador may be at risk for obesity? Probably not.
