Cerenia® Tablets

Cerenia^® (maropitant citrate) is the first FDA-approved veterinary medication to prevent vomiting safely and effectively in dogs. Cerenia also effectively prevents vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs.* It’s available with a prescription from your veterinarian. Motion sickness in dogs is a common issue pet owners face and can affect up to 48% of dogs.³ Cerenia helps you and your dog enjoy life every day, without the worry of vomiting due to car sickness. It’s a convenient, non-drowsy tablet given once a day that starts working quickly to prevent your dog’s vomiting and is effective for about 24 hours. Dosing depends on whether it’s prescribed to prevent vomiting from car sickness or to prevent acute vomiting at home so follow your veterinarian’s recommendations as prescribed. To prevent vomiting from car sickness, give your dog Cerenia with a small amount of food at least 2 hours before traveling. You can do this once a day for up to 2 days in a row. To prevent acute vomiting at home, you can give Cerenia once daily to puppies 2-7 months old for up to 5 days in a row or once daily to dogs older than 7 months, until resolution of vomiting, as prescribed by your veterinarian. Save with convenient automatic deliveries and ensure your dog is never without Cerenia for your next road trip adventure. Cerenia is eligible for Zoetis Petcare Rewards Program.
