Scientists Testing GLP-1s for Overweight Dogs and Cats

Your pet dog or cat might soon be a chubby little munchkin no more. Welcome to the burgeoning era of - we swear we're not making this up - "ozempets," in which your servile critters might shed some extra pounds by taking animal-focused diabetes and weight loss drugs similar to Ozempic and Wegovy. It hasn't quite happened yet, but it's seemingly about to. As the New York Times reports, a San Francisco based biopharmaceutical firm called Okava Pharmaceuticals is expected to announce the first pilot study of using these drugs, which are known as GLP-1 agonists, on obese cats.
