Talk to the vet about how much food he should be getting a day, and be very clear with the rest of the family that the dog shouldn't be fed any more than that. It's costing you more money in food and it'll cost you more in vet bills as he gets older...the extra weight will really do a number on his joints. I have an 80lb rottwieler, black lab, golden retiriever mix, and he gets by just fine on 2 cups of food a day.
