Abstract
Provided herein is a method of binding growth hormone secretagogue receptors in one or more companion animals or livestock to stimulate hunger independent of release of growth hormone. The method can provide administering a therapeutically effective amount of a capromorelin-containing composition to a companion animal or livestock in need thereof for a period of at least 30 days. Optionally, one or more flavoring agents or flavor-masking agents can be added to the capromorelin-containing composition to enhance or mask the flavoring of the composition for the companion animal or livestock.
