Is CoolSculpting available for pets?

Question

If cool sculpting really works I think you have an market in the veterinary community. My poor dog is 14 and has a fat ball pushing his front elbow out making it hard to walk. My vet says his age and the location of the fat ball may make a long surgery too dangerous. This type of fat ball will not reduce with weight/fat loss as they are a fat tumor. Do you think cool sculpting would work on pets?

Not that I am aware of. I don't expect anything in the veterinary community for several years at least.

Thank you for your question, SSss0802. Fat treatments have not been approved for pet-use, human-use only by the FDA. Here is a video to explain more. I am very sorry to hear about the fat pulge preventing your dog from walking. Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your dog's situation and his difficulty in walking, however, CoolSculpting is only FDA cleared for human use only.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No this is only FDA approved for humans, I'd suggest a formal diet and exercise plan for your pet.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting would not work on pets because the applicators that are used are designed for the human body and would not fit on pets.  Aside from that, CoolSculpting is not approved for use on animals.
