SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
In clinical trials, treated dogs rapidly regained weight following
cessation of treatment when diet was
not restricted. In order to avoid this rebound weight gain, it is
necessary to feed the dogs to
maintenance energy requirements. Thus, during treatment or at the end
of treatment at the latest, an
appropriate feeding and exercise regimen should be implemented in
order to ensure long term
maintenance of the bodyweight.
