Pets on Prozac – the height of compassion, or an overly indulgent society chasing its tail?
Pet Pharm, a new film by Patrick Reed and White Pine, investigates the newest trend which is the most controversial and revealing: psychoactive drugs for pets. Identifying a multi-billion dollar untapped market, Big Pharma has just developed and released a handful of designer drugs for pets, treating aggression, separation anxiety, obesity and diminished mental capacity related to aging, with many more medications to follow.
In Pet Pharm, Reed looks at this unfolding phenomenon from a number of perspectives including those of experts in the field like Dr. Nicholas Dodman and Dr. Ian Dunbar, who represent the polar opposite positions on psychoactive drugs for pets. Cinema Eye.
