Labrador Retriever: size, daily amount and PAWER

Labrador Retriever owners often ask if PAWER fits. It is a daily liquid for adult dogs, dosed by weight (25 to 36 kg is the usual breed range). It is not a medicine and promises no results. Ask your vet first if your dog has a condition or takes medication.

Typical adult weight: 25 to 36 kg

At 25 kg4.3 ml a day
At 36 kg6.1 ml a day

Breed standards give ranges. Your dog may be lighter or heavier, so weigh your dog and use that number.

Who is the Labrador Retriever?

The Labrador is a friendly, food-loving retriever. Adults are usually 25 to 36 kg, with males often at the heavier end. Many owners say their Lab is happiest when it has a job, a ball or a swim.

How the daily amount follows weight

PAWER Daily is a liquid for dogs. The dose is simple: 1.7 ml per 10 kg of body weight per day. The syringe is marked in ml. Weigh your dog, divide by ten, multiply by 1.7.

25 kg dog: 4.25 ml a day
30 kg dog: 5.1 ml a day

The dose finder on the site does the same sum for you. Always use your own dog’s weight, not the breed average.

Age and size questions

Labs are often described as big eaters, so weight is a common talking point. That makes a weight-based dose handy: you weigh your dog and read the number. Your vet can tell you what a healthy weight looks like for your own dog.

Owners of this breed commonly ask about three stages:

Puppy: Labs are slow to mature and can look like a puppy for two years or more. PAWER is not for puppies under one year.
Adult: Many are active and sporty well into middle age.
Senior: Older Labs often slow down on stairs and long walks, which owners commonly discuss with their vet.

What PAWER cannot promise

PAWER is a complementary feed, not a medicine. It does not treat, cure or prevent any disease. Its eight ingredients (NMN, PQQ, CoQ10, methylfolate, fisetin, isoquercetin, inulin and vitamin B12) have mostly been studied in people and lab animals. PAWER itself has not been studied. Nobody can promise results, and we will not.

What you may notice is up to your dog. Think of it as a daily routine and a way to look at what goes in the bowl.

Talk to your vet first

Ask your vet before starting if your dog:

takes any medication
has a health condition
is pregnant or nursing
or if you are simply unsure

PAWER is not for puppies under one year. It is for dogs only: never give it to a cat or any other animal, as some compounds that suit dogs do not suit other species.

Questions people ask

What size is a Labrador?

Adult Labradors are usually 25 to 36 kg. Males are often heavier than females. Your own dog may sit outside that range, so weigh it and use the real number, not the breed average.

How much PAWER does a Labrador get?

The dose follows body weight: 1.7 ml per 10 kg per day. A 30 kg Labrador gets 5.1 ml. Use the dose finder on the site, and check with your vet if unsure.

Is PAWER suitable for a Labrador puppy?

No. PAWER is not for puppies under one year. Labs grow for a long time, so ask your vet what is right for your puppy and when to think about any supplement.

Can I give PAWER to my senior Lab?

Older dogs often take medication or have conditions. Speak to your vet first. If your vet is happy, the same weight-based dose applies. Your vet can advise on your own dog.

Will PAWER make my Lab healthier?

We cannot promise that. Most ingredient research is in people and lab animals, and PAWER itself has not been studied. It is a daily routine, not a medicine.
