WOW, that certainly sounds way too big for him. As a friend of mine once said, "the only one responsible for a dog's weight, be it overweight or underweight, is his owner."

Cut his food in half, start getting him more exercise and get him down to where you can see a waistline and feel his ribs with a light touch to the sides. In the long run, it will help him defray any hip problems from being overweight and add years to his life.
