I don't have any recipes per se, but one thing I have heard works is to reduce the amount of dry kibble given the dog, and replace it with green beans or pumpkin. Of course, you want to start in small amounts, so the dogs system gets used to the extra fiber.
With Cincy, the bag of reduced calorie Lamb and rice (California Natural) said she should eat 4 c. /day. We fed her 1 1/2 c dry food inthe am and 1 c. plus 1/2 to 1 c. green beans in the pm.
Our vet also said you should build up to walking the dog a minimum of 1 mile per day. Other places I have read the dog should excercise (walk, play ball, etc) for at least 3- 15 min. periods each day.
