With the millions of Americans being overweight, a large number of canine companions comprising about 20% to 30% of dogs are overweight in the United States. Two main reasons for dogs being overweight are too little exercise and over eating. As per the Veterinary Medical Association, obesity is considered as the fourth leading cause for death among canines. Dogs that falls under category of overweight or obese are prone to various diseases including heart disease, skin and coat problems, arthritis, trouble breathing, and difficulty in controlling their body temperature.
However, other factors such as slow metabolism, neutering, and hormonal disorders including hypothyroidism and Cushing’s disease can cause weight gain in dogs. In response to this predominant problem of obesity in dogs, recently various companies are focused on developing the FDA approved drugs to treat conditions such as obesity in dogs. For instance, Slentrol, the first FDA approved diet drug has been recently developed by Pfizer Animal Health for canine obesity. This diet drug suppresses the dog’s appetite and blocks fat absorption in their bodies. This drug is administered orally directly into dog’s mouth or food. On an average, dogs are expected to lose 3% of their weight every month. However, these weight loss drugs have side effects that includes intermittent vomiting or diarrhoea.

These pharmaceutical drugs inhibit the transfer of dietary fats from dog’s intestinal cells into the blood stream. The accumulation of these dietary fat in the intestinal cells is supposed to increase release of intestinal hormones that induces signal of fullness in the dog’s brain, reducing his appetite.

Therapeutic diets vary extensively in its ingredients, fiber concentrations and nutritional profiles, so significant therapeutic diet options are available for a comprehensive range of dog patients.

However, the main distribution channel for canine weight loss drugs include hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, drug stores, e-commerce and others.
On the other hand, canine weight loss drugs market is gaining profit due to rising incidence of chronic heart diseases in obese dogs across the globe. As per a clinical survey conducted by Association for Pet Obesity Prevention in 2017, 56% of dogs and approximately 60% of cats were classified as clinically overweight or obese in United States by the veterinary healthcare professionals. The growing incidence of obesity in dogs tend to propel the growth of canine weight loss drugs market across the globe.
