Oh, come on!!! If you read my blog at all, you might get that I wouldn't be thrilled with this. Every coo coo for crazy puffs owner, who thinks it's cool that their dogs have physical or behavioral problems, are going to be all over this. Just like the cool bags and baby carriages (or stollers) that they wheel their overweight and overfed dogs around in to be like Paris Hilton.
Perhaps there may be some dogs who truly have a problem this drug could solve. Generally though exercise and diet maintenance are enough to make this a non-problem without the poisining of helpless animals. Give it to Pfizer to figure out a way to still profit on a drug pulled off the shelves for humans!!
Here are some more links on the subject (all with my negative spin of course):
