She needs lots of little walks and off leash messing about in parks etc. Several per day.
With food - ir is the TOTAL daily intake that has to be accounted for (ie every minute of the day). As I have said in the past, if you starve a dog, he/she will lose weight. I don't say to starve a dog of course, but the notion is a starting point. Is she on vet prescription diet food for senior dogs? Give her that in smaller than recommended amounts. And if you add some non-fattening supplements, take the amount of supplement into account.
