Actually, do you know what materials dog food is made of?
Some pet dry foods on the market contain at least 40-50% carbohydrates, including corn and wheat, which are plant-based starches that dogs find difficult to digest.
A large amount of carbohydrates is the main cause of obesity, and a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet is more effective in controlling weight.
Even if some dog foods are labeled as Grain Free or natural, the meat sources in them are often a mix of decomposed corpses and even inedible meat by-products.

Dogs that are overweight have a shorter lifespan.
The UK RSPCA states: "Obesity in pets can lead to serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory problems, high blood pressure, and cancer, and it can also exacerbate existing problems, thereby shortening the lifespan and quality of life of pets."

Preventing dog obesity
"Snacks"—
"Healthy snacks," "natural snacks" are still snacks, and they are nutrients outside of regular meals. If they are given as a reward after exercise, then of course, it's 100 points.
But if you usually give them snacks for no reason, then you should try to resist!
"Main meal" -
Most of the nutrition in "dry food" is carbohydrates, but dogs are carnivores and should absorb protein and fat. It is very difficult for dogs to convert carbohydrates into their energy, so for dogs, it is just excess nutrition and can make them overweight.
So if your dog has a weight problem, you should consider switching to a grain-free, low-carb raw meat diet for your dog!
