If you haven't already, looking into a weight control/weight loss food that your vet offers is a good way to help with weight loss in addition to exercise. These are usually very high fiber foods so that your dog gets fuller faster on less. If he likes a snack, some safe, healthy ones to give can include carrots or broccoli, or a tiny bit of lean chicken, which provide some fiber, nutrients, and aren't high in calories.
