Prescription Prozac for your Pooch?
In the days before Paris Hilton transported her favourite miniature dogs around in her handbags and prior to dog-walking being considered a serious profession, the most accepted treatment for a discontented dog was to give him a bone.
However modern times have seen a sudden rush in the licensing of new animal pharmaceuticals which in turn has lead to dog owners in the United States attempting to offer their pooches comfort and contentment via ‘Pet Prozac’ rather than the more traditional means of a tasty doggie treat or a much loved marrow bone.
Pharmaceutical companies desperate to cash in on the global love affair between dogs and their owners have launched a barrage of new prescription medicines for canines, including drugs for anxiety and depression, obesity and destructive or bad behaviour. Controversially, the vast majority of this new range of medications contains almost exactly the same ingredients and chemicals as those prescribed their human owners for similar problems.
Campaigners opposed to these drugs are concerned that there effects will promote humanisation amongst domestic pets which in turn will have a damaging effect on their overall wellbeing. They believe that any form of behavioural suppressants will encourage dog owners to overlook conventional dog training methods and will enable them to offer their pets’ inadequate care or supervision and neglect their responsibilities as dog owners.
