How often should I feed my overweight dog to help him lose weight?

Question

How many times a day should I feed my overweight dog. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 12 years and 11 months old | 120 lbs

Jenny, DVM · Accepted Answer

Large breeds are recommended to be fed 2-3 times a day. Depending on how weight he needs to lose will depend on how much food he should get in a day. If you want him to be 100 pounds, then he should get a little over 1.5 cups three times a day to start and try to increase his activity level.
