Pets Compete To Be Biggest Loser

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.
