Hi Sha la la!
To reduce the overweight or obese dog’s body weight, a program of diet and exercise should be introduced. It is important to visit a veterinarian as the doctor can determine whether the dog’s obesity is simply due to high caloric intake or some other medical concern like diabetes. The vet can also give you the best suggestions about diet and exercise. There are many brands of dog food on the market that are specially balanced to help a dog lose weight.

You cant force your dog to lose weight but you can help him control it through diet and exercise. Change to a dog food meant for overweight animals. Take him out for walks starting out small and gradually work up to longer walks and make them more frequent. This helps stabilize his metabolism and makes you a healthier person at the same time. Limit his intact according to what your vet says.

Put him on a strict diet. Only feed him good quality dog food in a specific amount. Don't free feed him. Set amounts at set times. Take him for a walk, play ball, let him play with other dogs. No table scraps. They make weight loss diets for this reason.

Put him on a good weight loss formula dog food and take him for 3 walks a day.

a lazer pointer and room to chase it.
my dog loves it she wags her tail and thinks its a friend.
walk the dog. my dog starting getting overweight when i did. hmmm.... she and i go for walks. also fat dogs live less time. so if you want her to live a long time, cut back on people food. dogs dont digest corn and a lot of people veggies give a dog gas. you would be surprised how little a dog can eat and survive. read the back of the bag one day. dogs will eat until they pop if you let them. they do not have a full feeling like people do.

Become an expert in exactly what you’re doing. Learn how and why things work after which it you’ll have faith that they're going to. Check out a podcast termed Cut The Fat, and pay attention to it when you’re exercising.

Chewing your food thoroughly will make digestion easier, but will allow your body time to recognise when it is actually full, thus preventing eating too much.

After you wake up, eat breakfast as early as you can. This kick starts your metabolism to function at a higher rate and burns more calories in daytime.
