So as you say he needs to lose weight you could start towards the lower end of this weight range and see how you go.

I currently feed my dog the top end of this, but thats because she is still just under 1 year, but I will be lowering it slightly once she reaches 12 months.
I am going to start off feeding him raw at the weekends so I can supervise him. Bit awkward during the week as my mum looks after him and not so keen on raw food around her house lol. Will have to get myself some decent scales
