I would recommend using a basic dog foot diet. Not all low fat and weight loss diets actually help dogs loose weight. I would look at the bag and feed Neuer the amount of food based on the weight he should be not what he is now. Also, watch treats and people food closely, these can really pack on the pounds. Exercise will also help Neuer loose weight. If you feed him the proper amount, watch treats and increase exercise he should loose weight. hope that helps
