Weight Loss Injections for Animals: Opportunities, risks, and research surrounding GLP-1 in veterinary medicine

Fat dogs, round cats-we love them, but their extra pounds are anything but harmless. This inevitably raises the question: Can animals also benefit from the famous ＂weight loss injections＂? This book explains in an understandable way how appetite and metabolism work in animals, what studies on GLP-1 analogues have already shown, and where the opportunities, limitations, and risks lie. It combines current research with everyday insights - scientifically sound. A work for anyone who wants to know whether the future of painful weight loss in animals lies not only in the food bowl, but rather in an injection.
