Question

striker i have a black male Labrador of 4 month i want to know a good food and best diet chart for his best growth ?

Answer
Any common brand of all life stages commercial dog food should be good. I know Pedigree is widely available in India. Switching to an adult chow for the larger breeds at 4 months, slows growth and helps develop sturdier joints. Make sure the actual calcium is less than 1.5% in any diet you feed a puppy.

How much you feed is more important than which brand. I can't say how much, but can help you determine exactly what your dog should have. Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx
