Are you struggling with a pup who has a seemingly insatiable appetite? Or perhaps your dog has a problem gaining weight despite not overeating. It turns out there’s a genetic reason for these issues. New research finds that a genetic mutation putting pups at high risk for obesity is found in 25% of Labrador Retrievers and 66% of Flat-Coated Retrievers. The mutation occurs in the POMCÂ (pro-opiomelanocortin) gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Essentially the genetic variant alters normal signaling to the brain. It’s a double sucker punch for affected pups, making them feel constantly hungry while burning fewer calories. And this mutation can lead to serious weight management problems for pup owners.
