Warning to dog owners
Dog owners in Nottinghamshire are being warned not to overfeed their pets by vets, as it may leave their dogs with serious health problems.
It comes after the news of a Labrador weighing about 8 stone (51 kilograms) was brought in to Ruddington Veterinary Centre last week.
The Labrador, Louie, has now been put on a strict diet to control his weight.
Veterinary nurse Lisa Hyde said “It’s potentially life-threatening to him. It’ll probably reduce his life-span by about five years if he carries on the way he’s going.”
“He could develop joint problems, arthritis. It’s going to put a big strain on his heart and he could also develop conditions like diabetes.

Things to consider when buying a dog
As we all know, dogs are loving animals and shouldn’t be treated as toys. Remember that saying: dogs are for life, not just for Christmas.
There is a lot of responsibility to owning a dog. A dog can’t take care of itself and needs you to look after them.
Before you take the big step of choosing which dog you wan’t, make sure you have enough money to look after it. They don’t just need tins of dog food - there are vet bills and they may hurt themselves which will result in a huge bill. Make sure you have some money put away incase of such event.
You must also make sure you have plenty of time for your dog. They’re a living thing just like anything else and need attention and love. You need to make sure you can give that to them and also be able to walk them when they need it.
Remember: a dog is a mans best friend.
