MAKING NEWS NOW
KY3 and the Springfield Veterinary Center present the Biggest Loser Pets competition! The goal is to teach owners how to help their obese pets lose weight and maintain a healthy diet and exercise plan in the new year. Five dogs and five cats have been given a strict regimen. Each month, they'll weigh in for our cameras. One cat and one dog will win a year's supply of Hill's Science Diet food based on the percentage of weight lost.
