Answers:

If your dogs are "obese", I think you might want to ask your vet what course of action to take. Overweight dogs are prone to developing diabetes, arthritis and other life-long issues. If your dogs get hungry enough, they will eat what you feed them. The goal is to have them not want to eat so much. Good luck!

It might not be necessary to change the food. Just cut the quantity of food and increase their exercise. They'll lose weight.

Of course my best advice is put them on an evolutionary diet. No commercial dog food.

Investigate this by finding info on the internet. Here's a good place to start: http://www.drianbillinghurst.com/. There are plenty of other sites too.

Doesn't matter what kind as long as it's a nutritionally complete food like Science Diet r/D. I worked in animal hospitals and vet clinics for over 10 years. I've never, ever, seen a dog that wouldn't eat the diet dog food. If your dogs are overweight, then not eating for a little bit isn't going to kill them. Just leave the food out for a while. Make sure they've got plenty of water. Only put a little bit of food out, like a few pieces. Count the pieces, then if they are eating it, you'll know for sure.

On every bag of dog food there's a recommended serving. Number one: don't buy crappy dog food. Go get some of the good stuff.
