His owner Perrie Eedy, 28, said: ‘His love of roast dinners was entirely my fault, I love them myself. As a treat I would give him a bit of carrot or some beef. I thought I was being kind.
‘He loves all food, especially human food and he will want it even more if we’re eating it, especially meat – pork is his favourite. On Sundays, he gets carrots with his biscuits and gravy on top while we have our Sunday roast.

‘At first the weight came off slowly, but after a couple of months of being strict and really sticking to it, we noticed a big difference in him and his body shape.’
Losing weight isn’t easy, and Luigi’s journey wasn’t without its challenges.
When his owners got married earlier this year and had to put the dog in a home boarding kennel for a few nights, he broke into the locked utility room and was found ‘head-first in a bag of food’.
He also had a lapse in resolve and stole a birthday cake Perrie had left cooling on the kitchen counter.
But the dog made it through and is now in a far healthier place.
Luigi’s transformation has had the bonus of boosting Perrie’s health, too.She said: ‘We spend more time outdoors exploring new places with him now, and it’s helped me with my exercise too as I go out on runs and long bike rides with him.
‘He has totally transformed from the dog we used to drag out on walks before, he’s often running well ahead of us now.’

‘Her arthritis makes increasing her exercise difficult as even just a five minute walk can affect her joints the next day. And her weight means she finds it hard to breathe and I’m worried about her longer term health.

Percy’s owner Chloe Morrison, from Ballieston, said: ‘I’m over the moon with the results so far, and my friends and family can’t believe how much thinner he is now.‘I used to get comments from people in the street about him being the biggest Pug they’d ever seen, which thankfully I don’t get any more.

‘He can run around much easier now and he has more stamina on walks.
‘Before, he would refuse to go any further on walks, but he’s able to go much longer now.’
Vets at Cardiff PDSA Pet Hospital, who oversaw all the animals’ challenges, called on pet owners concerned about their pet’s weight to work with their vet. PDSA vet nurse Nina Downing said: ‘Pet obesity is a growing issue that affects millions of UK pets.
