Wow. It's not just anticancer drugs for dogs, there are also "lifestyle" drugs. They think they're people!

Just like people obesity drugs, they're intended for short-term use, coupled with a diet and exercise plan.

I really don't understand. It's not hard to put your dog on a diet. See here if you are interested in reading some dog forum chatter (including a first-person owner account) about the drug.
