You can find a food that is a little lower in calories - or feed him a little less of what he is eating now.

BUT - I'll bet if you get him out (summer is coming) and let him run around and play - he'll lose some weight.

Most of us would lose some weight if we'd exercise more. And, I'm sure like people - a lot of dogs should get more exercise.

There is a sign in my vet's office that says: "Eat less - Exercise more!!!" He told me that this is the advise that he gives for about 50% of the animals that visit him - and, he said, "You can just read the sign in my office for free!!"

Good luck!
