Fat Dogs & Cats to get a Weight loss implant
 
For those who can afford them...........



[Where humans lead, their dogs tend to
follow – now it seems that might even apply
to weight-loss wonder drugs.

Medications such as Wegovy have
become ubiquitous among people hoping
to shed pounds quickly.
But businesses keen to cash in on the
science behind the weight-loss jabs are now
investigating other applications for the drugs,
and our four-legged friends could be the
next in line for a slimming solution]

We had a fat dog called Hector. He's dead now. :(

Tilly could do with this, she has gained 5K since we got her :skull:

Why are these kinds of drugs even being allowed?

They're incredibly unhealthy on the body, and unnatural.

There is a market for them.

Ozempic is one thing.

But Cats and Dogs can't consent to taking drugs that we as a society still don't know what kind of damage it might be doing to the Human body, let alone a poor Cat or Dog.

Imo unless it's a health emergency for the Cat or Dog, then things shouldn't be happening to them that they have no control or understanding over.

Imo it's sick to see this being on the market.

Yes this is ridiculous. The majority of dogs particularly love exercise, love running and love walks. You also had clear guidelines on what quantities they should be fed for their weight/breed. If you have a fat cat or dog, an animal whose diet and exercise regime is totally under your control, you are an irresponsible pet owner.

Or the owners could just take care of their pet properly.

Fat animals like fat kids are caused by parents/owners
