Dowbrigade » Blog Archive » Fat Cats Welcome Company – WASHINGTON – The obesity epidemic has spread to man’s best friend, and so many dogs are getting fat that the government stepped in Friday by approving the first doggie diet pill. The Food and Drug Administration announced the approval of Slentrol, a prescription drug that can suppress Fido’s appetite while also blocking the absorption of fat from his treats.

So how is the best way to suggest to neighbors to start walking their pet?
