if your dog has recently been checked and is in good health and free of parasites, then yes, more exercise, loosing weight, increase food. i usually increase 1/4 cup at a time until dog is in good weight and maintaining it for its activity.

no, fat is not good. you should be able to feel his last 2-3 ribs easily and see a waist when veiwed from atop.

glad you got him exercising! great for both of you and decreases destructive behavior.
