Dr Cath Watson: Should you give your pets Ozempic?
Okava has been investigating the use of GLP-1 receptors in cats and found it has similar effects to weight-loss drugs on humans.
The San Francisco-based company is hoping to develop a long-acting implant as opposed to regular injections.

Watson told Andrew Dickens that pet obesity levels are "pretty bad and getting worse".
