That is the market whose customer is your pet, especially your canine pet. Pfizer, a major drug company for humans, apparently wants to become a major drug company for dogs. Who knows how many millions they spent on developing Slentrol, a diet pill for dogs? The FDA approved the drug yesterday. Surprisingly, it's fairly cheap, $1 - $2 a day. Of course, there are possible side effects, such as loose stools, vomiting and diarrhea.
You have to wonder how much money people are willing to spend on their pets. Our government is willing to spend money reviewing drugs for pets. So, the pet lobby has to have a fair degree of influence.
