I’m not much help, as I’ve never dealt personally with overweight dogs. Possibly making one of his meals just a tiny bit smaller even? Try to keep exercise as much as possible, I know it’ll be hard with this injury, but inactivity gives the snowball effect. The less he moves, the less he’ll want to move. Even starting with maybe a nice 10min walk, then gradually doing 2 walks daily and increasing the distance.

I’ve never heard of that green bean diet, so I’m holding my hands up – I have no clue if it’s good or not. I’ll wait for one of our “gurus” to come give their thoughts 😉
