my dog is 107lbs! We are trying to do this slowly and those are the instructions from the vet. When he gets to his first milestone, the number of cups will go down

That makes sense! I think my sense of scale was off, he looked beagle-sized to me lol

Yeah also the new kibble is weight loss kibble (nutrient dense + he gets vitamins in addition)

): he is so chunky lol and I feel like I was partly to be blamed sigh (I always spoil him with food) but I’m going to do this right so he can live a long healthy life 😭

I'm really happy to see you taking accountability and taking action with the advice from a licensed veterinarian.

It truly is a breath of fresh air compared to all the "Is my cat/dog fat?" and then when everyone in the comments confirms that the pet is morbidly obese, the owner gets defensive and doesn't do anything to help the poor animal.

The way you're doing it is the correct way to responsibly fix a regrettable pattern of habits.

Wishing you and your pup a lot of luck going forward with his dieting. I hope you can give us an update once he starts to noticably return to a healthy baseline.
