Weight Loss
Supports healthy weight reduction
Appetite Control
Helps reduce hunger and cravings
Improved Mobility
Less weight means greater mobility
Metabolic Health
Supports healthy metabolism
Quality of Life
Helps pets live longer, healthier livesz
How It Works
Semaglutide mimics the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). It binds to GLP-1 receptors in the brain and digestive system to regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve metabolic function.

The Science
Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist with demonstrated efficacy in multiple species. Studies in dogs and cats have shown:
Research suggests it may:
Significant weight loss
Reduced appetite
Improved body condition scores
Better glycemic control in diabetic patients
Improved inflammatory and metabolic markers
Semaglutide (Synthetic GLP-1 RA)
Binds to GLP-1 Receptors in Brain & Gut
Decreases Hunger Signals to Brain
Slows Gastric Emptying
Reduces Food Intake & Promotes Weight Loss
Improved Metabolic Health & Mobility
Research Highlights
Semaglutide induces significant weight loss in obese dogs.
BMC Veterinary Research, 2019

Why Injectable?
Oral semaglutide is not bioavailable in animals due to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. Subcutaneous (injectable) delivery provides consistent absorption, higher bioavailability, and more predictable clinical results.
Oral Delivery
- Low bioavailability
- Degraded in stomach
- Less predictable
Injectable Delivery
- Higher bioavailability
- Bypasses digestion
- More predictable
Dosing & Administration?
(General Guidelines)
Dosing should be determined by a licensed veterinarian based on the pet’s weight, body condition, and response to therapy.
- Route: Subcutaneous (SQ)
- Frequency: Typically 1–2 times per day
- Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water
For veterinary use only. Not for human use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How soon can I see results?
A: Some pets may show reduced appetite within days. Weight loss is typically observed over several weeks.
Q: Is semaglutide safe for long-term use?
A: When used under veterinary supervision, semaglutide has a well-established safety profile.
Q: Can semaglutide be used with other therapies?
A: Yes, it can be combined with diet, exercise, and other medications as part of a comprehensive plan.
Q: Are there side effects?
A: Possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite initially. These are typically mild and transient.
Q: Is this FDA-approved?
A: No. Semaglutide is not FDA-approved for use in animals. It is an investigational compound.
