Hi Robin-
I currently have a senior Lab who needed to lose 7lbs. So far he has lost 2.
What I did that has been working was putting him on a weight control food that was both low in fat and calories. Most importantly I stopped giving him any and all treats and table food. We also increased his walks. If you want to treat your dog, pet him, play ball, fetch etc. Those are a healthy “treat” for your dog that they enjoy.
Controlling calories is extremely important for weight loss. If they are taking in more calories than they are burning they can not lose weight.
