An Albany man has been fined $4,600 for a severe case of animal cruelty after RSPCA WA inspectors found his two dogs emaciated to the point where their ribs and hips were exposed.

An RSPCA WA spokesperson said the dogs were found malnourished and riddled with fleas.

"Alice's condition [was] so bad she had a large, infected skin wound which resembled a burn across her entire rump," they said.
