Labrador Mobs Treat Stall in Hilarious Clip: 'Wait for It'

Labradors and food are almost synonymous, and anyone who has owned the popular breed knows how difficult it is to tear them away from any nearby edibles.

In a hilarious video with over 370,000 views on TikTok in a single day, a man by the name of Erik Erickson (@loadofscrap) showed what happened when he took his friend's pet Louie to a dog event. The Labrador can be seen jumping up at a table of Stella & Chewy's treats in Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Georgia, "where he discovered his new favorite treats," says the video.

Louie manages to get a considerable amount of the free samples in his mouth before the video says, "wait for it..."

The footage then cuts to a long shot of the treats stall. Louie pops up behind the table, eventually jumping on the table to find more free samples, before being gently but reluctantly removed. "When you find something you like...GO FOR IT!!!" reads the caption.

Stella & Chewy's food advertises itself as "raw and natural pet food." As one study from 2019 entitled One veterinarian's experience with owners who are feeding raw meat to their pets said: "A growing number of pet owners are choosing to feed raw meat-based diets (RMBDs) to their dogs and cats.

"In recent years, raw pet food sales have increased by at least 15% annually and approximately 15% to 25% of dogs and 10% of cats are fed some raw meat," the study added.

There are many benefits to adding raw and fresh ingredients to a pup's diet. "Feeding dogs a diet made with natural, real ingredients, such as beef, chicken, lamb, peas, spinach, carrots, and blueberries, can do wonders for their overall well-being," says the American Kennel Club, "promoting heart health, increasing energy level, making coats shiny and breath smell better, improving eyesight, and even impacting a dog's stool."

However, due to the extra time, effort and money it can take to prepare these meals for pets, lots of owners have increased the demand for pre-prepared food.

"Nevertheless, solving a problem with diet is better for the pet and cheaper than repeated veterinary visits and expensive medications," reports the 2019 study.

When deciding on the best diet for a specific dog, it's always advisable to consult with a veterinarian prior to any decision.

"Raw food is not appropriate for any dog or cat whose immune system is suppressed because of significant disease or immune suppressant medications," adds the study. "Pets with severe disease such as moderately advanced heart, kidney, or liver dysfunction, diabetes, or cancer should not be fed a raw diet that may contain pathogenic bacteria."

Users on TikTok loved the funny video.

"He's hired!!! Get him a brand deal now!" wrote one user. "Those treats are LOUIE APPROVED!" commented another.
