It's that time of year again, animal charity PDSA has announced the line-up of pet finalists in its annual slimming competition Pet Fit Club.This year the overweight animal contestants include 11 dogs, 5 cats and 2 rabbits? who are currently carrying a combined excess weight of over 24 stone.
And the 18 finalists include a ?custard cream loving? dog called Alfie; a 10.2kg Scottish cat called Maverick who is 85% overweight.
There is also food thief, Deco - a canine who likes cake but is carrying 57% extra body weight; Romeo the Labrador who has a penchant for roast dinners who is 47% overweight.
All of the finalists are obese or morbidly obese and desperately need to lose weight to improve their quality of life. PDSA vets are guiding the owners of each of these supersized pets on their journey to slim down and shape-up with a balanced diet and tailored exercise plan.
?
Sean Wensley, PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, said: ?Excess pounds can contribute to a number of serious health conditions and, sadly, it does reduce life expectancy. But the good news is that it?s never too late to make positive changes to a pet?s diet and lifestyle.?

The overall winner of the competition will receive a pet-friendly holiday worth ?500 with the Four Seasons hotel in Perthshire.
