Has his appetite diminished? Is that the reason for the weight loss? If not, did your vet do basic blood tests to rule out health problems that would cause weight loss. If you add treats to his diet, make sure they don't exceed 15 - 20% of his daily intake or you risk unbalancing the necessary nutrients to stay healthy.
