My overweight Lab: What's the right diet, food, and feeding schedule?

Question

My lab is a bit overweight. Can I have an indepth diet schedule for her ? How many times to feed with quantity and which pet food to feed ? Can I soak the dog food in water and feed her ? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 7 months old | 90 lbs

First of all i would not recommend soaking any dog food in water. if she is just slightly overweight you can put her on an over the counter reduced calorie dry food, you can chose the same brand you are using at the moment or any other brand that you find in your pet shop. if she is more than a little bit overweight then she will need a prescription low calorie food from your vet. for each food the quantity will be different but it will be written on the food label with clear instructions.
