What are some tips to get my dog to lose weight?

1.  Increase your dog's activity level by playing more games and taking them on daily walks or runs.
2.  Cut down on the amount of treats you give your dog, as they can become too dependent on these.
3.  Reduce the amount of food you feed your dog at mealtime, gradually reducing the portion size over time until it reaches a healthy maintenance level.
4.  Make sure that your dog is getting enough water, as dehydration can lead to an increased appetite.
