Hello Carol, YOUR Maltese boy may be a slight bit overweight.
How about we try this.  Give him a weight reduction formula such as WELLNESS Core - Sold at most Pet stores:

get this one:
I would do just 1/4 cup in the am...
and 1/4 cup in the PM-
Also, 1/2 cup of canned cooked green beans / just rinse out so there is no salt on the green beans.
