Getting 1 or 2kg off

Florence is a tall Labrador and very muscley too. She weighs 35kg and is by no means overweight/fat/obese etc she has a great figure with a well defined waist and I can feel her ribs...

However I would like her to be at 34kg. Everytime she comes back from my mums, she has put on a bit of weight because my mum doesn't walk them as far. So I would like her to be at 34kg just for 'contingency' really.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get that 1kg off? I don't think I need to exercise her more (she gets 3 hours a day) so should I decrease her kibble intake?

Re: Getting 1 or 2kg off

I would try decreasing the kibble intake to get the weight off but gradually. OR get the senior version of what she is already on if she objects to smaller meals.
Best plan would be to get Mum to feed her less when she's their (if you can)
