Cutting back on kibble can be replaced with frozen cut green beans, Cody lost 1 1/2 pounds over 1 1/2 years by cutting back on kibble and replacing with 1/3 cup green beans, he's a big boy weighing in at 12 Lbs.With dogs you must do a slow weight loss, not like humans where we can drop 5 lbs in a month. With dogs they must loose in ounces. 1/2 a oz a month or 2 is a safe weight loss. Keep a weight chart, start with his current weight, because Cody was getting allergy shots we were at the vet every 4 to 6 weeks, I had him weighed at each visit. Now I have a baby scale and weigh him monthly to make sure he's in that 12 Lb range.
