New Weight Loss Drug for Dogs - Is It for Real???? by James Sheldon Believe it or not, dogs now have a solution to staying thin. Like many of us, dogs can pack on the pounds as they get older. In fact, dog obesity is becoming a growing problem, as it is among humans. However, unlike us, dogs don’t care about their weight and have no problem being fat. Pet owners, on the other hand, should have a problem with it. An obese or overweight pooch can have significant health problems and live a shorter life. Thanks to Pfizer’s new appetite suppressant for dogs, Slentrol, pet owners now have a solution to curbing their dog’s voracious appetite and keeping his/her weight down. About Pfizer’s Weight Loss Drug for Dogs - Slentrol A liquid medication taken once a day, this weight loss drug for dogs is the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA and works just like any other appetite suppressant. The FDA approved Slentrol as a weight loss supplement for your pooch in early January of 2007; but pet health specialists recommend that you don’t solely rely on the drug to keep your dog’s weight down. Dogs need exercise such as running and walking to stay healthy, in shape, and at an acceptable weight. However, some dogs just tend to pack on the pounds easier than others. Slentrol can help fight the fat your dog has and keep him as thin as possible. Cost and Availability Slentrol is estimated
to cost on the average about $2 a day. There is no mention of when this
drug will be available for purchase or if other generic pet medication
manufacturers will have a similar drug available soon. So keep an eye
and ear open for additional news on this weight loss drug for dogs. The answer is NO. Expecting this question and response to a weight loss drug for dogs, Pfizer tested Slentrol on humans and discovered that it can cause abdominal pain and nausea. Although these symptoms aren’t fatal, they aren’t worth suppressing your appetite.
