Pudgy pets are undoubtedly adorable, but that extra weight can be really dangerous for their health, and drastically shorten their lives.
For the past 10 years, the Pet Fit Club in the U.K. has been helping overweight pets get healthy again, which for many, has given them back their lives. Over the years, the club has worked with 95 obese pets, and helped them lose a collective 840 pounds.
Take a look at some of the most impressive (and most adorable) transformations below.
This obese Rottweiler named Hooch weighed 50 lbs more than a healthy Rottweiler should weigh. Through the program, he lost about 15.2% of his bodyweight, and now weighs 153 lbs.
Fudge will eat practically anything, and over the years, it started to show. The Labrador mix has lost about 22 lbs, and now weighs a healthier 107 lbs.
Duke the yellow Labrador was twice his recommended weight before getting help from the Pet Fit Club, and has since lost 8.3% of his bodyweight.
The Pet Fit Club isn’t just for hungry pups, they even help cats lose weight too! “The PDSA vets and nurses were great,” said Penny Faulkner, Amber’s owner. “I saw a real difference in Amber’s shape – she no longer waddled when she walked, she slept less and became more interested in playing.”
Bobby had a nasty habit of raiding his neighbors’ food cabinets in search of some extra treats, which caused him to gain so much weight that he was twice his recommended weight. With hard work, he managed to lose over 23 pounds.
