Ozempurrs for Cats? The Truth About GLP-1 Drugs and Feline Weight Loss
Thursday, 25 December, 2025
This week on Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss, Certified Cat Behavior Specialist, and Dewey Vaughn dive into one of the hottest and most controversial emerging topics in veterinary medicine: GLP-1 weight-loss drugs for cats. With early studies like the MEOW-1 trial underway, some researchers hope these medications could help reverse obesity and even prevent diabetes — a condition that leads far too many cat guardians to choose euthanasia due to cost or treatment difficulty. But here's the truth: no drug can out-perform an unchanged lifestyle. Molly and Dewey break down the science behind GLP-1 drugs, why cats gain weight in the first place, how owners unintentionally sabotage progress, and what must happen after the medication wears off to prevent rebound weight gain. This episode is an honest, practical, behavior-centered guide to understanding the promise — and the limits — of GLP-1 treatments for pets.
