Is Rover getting porky? Plymouth vets report obesity crisis among spolit and greedy city pets

CITY vets see up to a dozen obese pets each week– some of which have to be put to sleep.

Animal charity PDSA has warned of a continuing obesity crisis amongst pets.

They say it is caused by a diet of snacks, takeaways and even booze.

Rosehill Veterinary Clinic, in Molesworth Road, diagnose an animal as obese every two days, but check weights daily.
