Cut his food back by 25-30% AND take him for a walk, run, or throw the ball for him for at least 20 mins per day to start. Also if you have a pool or a lake nearby, swimming would be great exercise for him. Just make sure he's getting a chance to exercise every day.What advice can i use to let my dog lose a couple pounds?
Never ever feed him table scraps, and don't let other people. Also a daily walk or game of fetch should do the trick. You also might want to start feeding him the senior diet food. This is usually when labs start getting stocky and overweight, but you can control it to keep him healthy!
everyone says to cut back the food but that leaves the dog hungry. Less food means less energy in dogs. What you need to do is cut back food but replace it with green beans(i find frozen french cut works best) this way you fill the dog and don't leave him hungry. you can find more on this just google it Green bean diet for dogs.
My dog had the same problem, he was overweight. He is also a Labrador. We actually kept his diet about the same, twice a day, but a little less than usual. We also took him on nightly walks, and we still do. Or take him/her to a lake to swim. Our dog lost about 20 pounds over the course of the year.
My labbie had a little bit of a weight problem. Our vet had us reduce his food and replace dog treats with carrots or canned green beans. I know it seems weird but or dog loved the carrot treats.





We also upped his exercise. He is very healthy and happy now! He loved the carrot treats so much we kept those up (must be something about the crunch)!
Measure the amount of food you have been normally been giving your dog, then cut it back. So if he gets 2 cups twice daily, give him 1 and 1/2 cups twice daily. Always feed your dog twice a day and do not leave food out all day. Feed only dry food to cut back on even more calories. Of course regular exercise will help.
Take him for regular walks, once a day or twice a day, slowly cut his food back or put him on a doggie diet food, slowly introducing it into his diet, good luck!
