Slim pickings for fat pets

PET owners in the city whose dogs, cats and rabbits are overweight have until tomorrow to enter them in a pet slimming competition.

The annual competition, PDSA Pet Fit Club, aims to recruit some of the UK's porkiest pets and help them slim down.

Up to ten dogs and ten cats will be selected and put on a free six-month diet and fitness programme, overseen by PDSA vets and nurses. Entries are also being sought from the owners of overweight, small, furry pets, including rabbits.
