Our Golden Lab is 8 years old, and has lost some weight, but needs to lose a bit more. She weighs 95 pounds, and we feed her 2 cups of dry food a day... is this enough for her? She doesn't get a lot of exercise.

I have an 8 year old overweight dog as well who only eats 2 cups of food a day. She is not a very active dog and does OK on it.
If your dog seems to be starving hungry all the time, then I would up it to 1.5 cups twice a day (3 cups of food total for the day) and see how she is.
I realize she has lost weight, but have you checked her thyroid levels? Her being a lab, overweight and not active spell out thyroid problems. Its not a very expensive test, it'd definitely be worth checking out.
Also.. what are you feeding her? 2 cups of food on a lower grade quality of food will make her hungry. If you up her to a better quality food, such as Pro-plan, Innova, Taste of the Wild, Wellness, etc. she might not act so hungry.
