Take your dog to the Vet and have them tell you how much weight your dog needs to loose and how to do it. Feeding your dog table scraps or wet food will make your dog become overweight and have other issues with their bowel movements and blood sugar levels.

The first thing you should do is find out the proper weight of your dog. Going to a vet is the best way to do that. After that you can try to reduce both the number of times you feed your dog as well as the amount. Exercise is very important even in animals so get into that habit.

Try looking for dog foods that are specifically for weight control. They usually have less additives and are portion controlled. Don't give your dog table scrapes and too many treats.

There are plenty of brands that make good dog food for overweight or mature dogs. Check the labels for fat content and fiber content.
