Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The first step to figuring that answer out is knowing how many calories the dog is taking in NOW. Including all treats. If you can calculate his current caloric intake we can tell you how to reduce it. We also need to know age, sex, whether spayed or neutered and breed. You can also decrease treats by 50% and cut the dog food volume by 25 % and try that for 1 month and re-weigh. Hope to hear from you soon
