January 31, 2010- Alison Sweeney, host of The Biggest Loser, knows firsthand about having a chubby pet. After a recent visit to the vet, she learned her dog Winky was overweight. Having struggled with her own personal weight loss, Alison was shocked and upset by this diagnosis and immediately committed to getting Winky’s weight back on track.

And although a chubby pet may seem cute, it’s no laughing matter with just five extra pounds on a medium size dog equaling nearly 20 pounds on the average woman.
Just one month after learning Winky was overweight, Alison’s already helped Winky get back to a healthy weight. Now, inspired by Winky’s weight loss success, Alison is on a mission to help pet owners across the country get their overweight pets slimmed down. In a challenge of weighty proportions, Alison is calling pet owners to get their pets in shape and share their success stories for a big payoff.
