Question
I have a lab that is 11/2 years old and he weights 88.5 pounds and the vet said he was very fat, you can see his ribs, is this really too fat

Answer
If you see his ribs at 88.5 pounds, he must be huge.  Take a look at http://www.puppychow.com/products/popup_body_condition.aspx  Here is a link to a picture of some lean, healthy Labs,
