A formerly porky Labrador has been crowned the UK’s best slimming pet by a veterinary charity after shedding 1st 6lbs (10kg).

Keano, from Plymouth, was so overweight at 7st 2lbs (46kg), he could not roll over on his back before joining the PDSA scheme.

But regular walks and proper dog food helped him find a new lease of life.

Five obese dogs and one cat completed PDSA’s 100 day diet and fitness programme, devised by vets.

The charity says canine obesity rose by 9% in the last year, which can cause potentially fatal conditions.
