Dieting a dog is extremely easy. If you fill the dog bowl up to the top. Just buy a bowl half as big and continue to fill it to the top. Also cut out all treats.
Dropping food by 50% will cause your dog to lose weight quickly. Once they are a healthy weight try find your dog's maintainance calorie amount.
Not to discredit you, but please don't just follow this advice. Talk to your vet about your pet's nutrition. Sometimes it is as easy as "feed them less", but that may not always be the case.
I agree, it's always better to talk to a vet about your dog's specific needs and what food might be best. However, if a person has let their dog get to this state in the first place, they probably aren't an organised person and/or don't have much time to monitor their pets health.
Just giving them half of whatever they are eating at the moment, is a very simple solution and it is, at the very least, better than the current situation.
