After a search for the nation's fattest four-legged friends, leading veterinary charity, PDSA, has chosen eight overweight dogs and cats to battle the bulge in this year's PDSA Pet Fit Club competition.
In a bid to help the porky pets slim down, PDSA vets and nurses across the country have created specially tailored 100-day diet and fitness programmes for each of the eight overweight pets to follow, to help them shift their excess inches.
The owners of the eight chubby finalists, which include seven dogs and one cat, will battle it out over the next three months to overhaul their pet's diet and exercise regime.
