PETS
LAST CHANCE TO ENTER PDSAʼS SUCCESSFUL PET SLIMMING COMPETITION With UK dog obesity figures showing that 35%* of dogs are overweight, vets at PDSA’s Sheffield animal hospital are reminding the owners of overweight pets that the charity’s annual pet slimming competition, PDSA Pet Fit Club, is here to help their pets beat the bulge. There are just a few days left to enter the competition - the closing date is Friday 27 August. PDSA aims to recruit some of the nation’s porkiest pets and help them to slim down and give them a new ‘leash’ of life. People can enter at www.pdsa. org.uk/petfitclub. The competition will see selected overweight pets put on a free six month diet and fitness programme overseen by PDSA vets and nurses. The charity’s competition is backed by one of the country’s leading animal obesity specialists, Dr Alex German, from the University of Liverpool Veterinary School. He said: “PDSA is doing great work in highlighting this important animal welfare issue via its slimming competition. It’s vital that owners recognise their pet’s weight problem, seek veterinary advice and do something about it. “Through its competition PDSA is putting the spotlight on the pet obesity epidemic and offering practical help to improve the quality of life of the participating pets. Previous years’ finalists have achieved fantastic results and similar success this year will once again provide real-life demonstrations to pet-owners of what can be achieved with commitment and veterinary assistance.” PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, said: “We know from our work with pet-owners that many view an overweight pet as cute and cuddly. What they don’t see is the threat that obesity poses to their beloved animals’ health and lifespan. “Overweight pets are less mobile, less willing to play and more likely to develop a number of serious health conditions. Ultimately, owners control their pet’s diet and exercise. The good news is it’s never too late to achieve positive change with the help of their veterinary practice.” PDSA is looking for the UK’s most overweight pets to take on the challenge of Pet Fit Club. The charity will be selecting up to ten dogs and ten cats to take part. Entries are also being sought from the owners of overweight small furry pets such as rabbits. The diets for all of the finalists are being supplied by Hills pet food. Enter online at www.pdsa.org.uk/petfitclub
