'taking' implies a voluntary role. but no, these animals have no choice
pets tend to have limited autonomy. But you are right, pets are not electing to "take" medications.
They are also not eating too much to get fat by their own choice.
I understand what you mean,
but it is technically the choice of the animal to eat more than they need on a regular basis
