Tips on how to help your pet lose weight

We take a look at the impact on our pets health after a survey by the insurance company More Than found that we've been overfeeding our cats and dogs during lockdown. The UK wide survey of more than 2,000 pet owners says 34 per cent of those polled admitted to feeding their pets more treats in lockdown, and one in three said they were unable to spot the signs of their pet being overweight. We hear from a pet owner who fears her King Charles Spaniel has put on weight during lockdown after helping him to shed a few pounds a few years back with support from the veterinary charity, the PDSA. We also speak to James Russell, President of the British Veterinary Association. Presented by Winifred Robinson.
