Speaking of drugs, there is a new weight loss medication for dogs. It's called Slentrol. what will they think up next?
The first FDA-approved prescription medication to manage obesity in dogs
Obesity in dogs is an important medical condition with serious health consequences. Obese dogs often have difficulty with their joints (including arthritis). They are also more likely to have heart problems and trouble breathing. Dogs that are obese get more skin infections than dogs at a normal weight and may have more problems with anesthesia and surgery.
And obese dogs don’t run or play as much as dogs that weigh less. Climbing stairs is more difficult, getting in and out of cars is harder to do, and sometimes just walking down the street is a challenge. Managing obesity in your dog is not a matter of “looking good.” It’s about managing the potential for serious health consequences.
This site will help you learn more about SLENTROL, a safe and effective medicine that will help your dog lose extra pounds gradually, which is the medically recommended way to lose weight and sustain weight loss over time.
SLENTROL is available only by prescription. Talk to your veterinarian to see if SLENTROL is the right choice for your dog.
SLENTROL must not be used in cats. Do not give SLENTROL to dogs with liver disease or dogs that have been taking steroid treatments for a long time. The most common side effect from SLENTROL is vomiting. A few dogs may develop diarrhea, seem unusually tired, or completely stop eating. If any of these side effects last longer than 2 days, call your veterinarian. SLENTROL should never be taken by people under any circumstances.
Personaly I wouldn't want the voimitin or diarrhea. Wonder if that's how they loose the weight?
