Fat Cats Welcome Company

WASHINGTON – The obesity epidemic has spread to man’s best friend, and so many dogs are getting fat that the government stepped in Friday by approving the first doggie diet pill.

The Food and Drug Administration announced the approval of Slentrol, a prescription drug that can suppress Fido’s appetite while also blocking the absorption of fat from his treats.

”This is a welcome addition to animal therapies,” said the FDA’s Stephen Sundloff. "Dog obesity appears to be increasing.”

Experts blamed the same factors that cause people to get fat: too much food and not enough exercise.

  10. Feeding dogs a bunch of pills is not the answer… The answer is a proper diet with a low fat meat and all natural dog treats. Never feed your dog junk food.

  11. That poor dog… Dogs like people need a good healthy diet, not pills.

  12. Dog Parents should be held accountable for the health of their dogs. This poor dog is obviously suffering from abuse. Somebody please
    rescue the poor thing.

  14. This is horrible. He wouldn’t need to take diet pills if whoever the owner was took care of him.

    Many dogs are always hungry because they eat a poor quality food that does not provide all the nutrition they need. Feed them better and they will not be as hungry.
