One of the UK's leading pet care brands is offering professional pet sitting and dog walking services to help the nation's obese cats and dogs lose weight.

Like obese humans, weight- challenged animals run a higher risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and joint and hip difficulties, among other medical problems.

Fetch! Pet Care aims to help pets get up, move and have fun for sustained periods of time with each visit. Sitters arrive at the client's home outfitted with balls, frisbees, play toys, string and sheer enthusiasm to give the dogs and cats in their care a fun-filled workout. Each animal exercise regime is carefully tailored to the pet's age, ability, health condition, preferences and temperament.

"Americans spend over $41bn (EURO32bn) annually on pet-related goods and services, yet animal obesity persists," said Paul Mann, founder and ceo of Fetch! Pet Care.

"Despite how much they love and provide for their pet, many owners apparently overlook exercise as a fundamental way to foster their dog's or cat's happiness, overall well-being and longevity -- or they simply don't have the time to properly exercise their pet on a regular basis."
