Heard the latest? Slimming pills for dogs! Well, here goes Yarvitan, the world’s first anti-obesity drug for dogs launched in the UK.
Developed by Janssen-Cilag and priced at £50 for an eight-week course of treatment, this new entrant in veterinary medicine will have to be prescribed by a vet.
Prior experiments proved that dogs treated with the drug weighed around 8 per cent less after completion of the treatment. Yarvitan may also considerably lessen the risk of a dog developing arthritis and also increase the dog’s life expectancy by more than a year.
Well then, what say you fat-dog owners?. Be whatever, you have to exercise your dog.
A dog is a man’s best friend and should be given the best care. You keep your dog happy and he will in turn keep you happy. Think twice before buying a pup. It has often been said that one has to keep in mind one’s lifestyle before buying a pup. In Joan Palmer’s Dogs & Puppies, the author has vividly described each breed of dog with an accompanying photograph. From food to grooming to space to exercise, the book gives you all the information you need. So if you are a busy bee and cannot afford to keep someone to walk or exercise your dog then do not buy a breed which needs lots of exercise.
Watch what you feed your dog. Do not overfeed.
