Introducing once-daily CERENIA Tablets—developed just for dogs
- The first FDA-approved medicine that prevents motion sickness in dogs
- Safe and effective
- Recommended for dogs 16 weeks of age and older
- Available by prescription from your veterinarian
If you want to take your dog along on trips, vacations…sometimes just to visit friends nearby—but can't because your canine companion gets sick when he travels, then read on. Now there's CERENIA, a new medicine that prevents vomiting caused by motion sickness.
Did you know?
Motion sickness is very common. Pfizer Animal Health talked to many dog owners and found that about 1 in 6 dogs gets sick from traveling. That's 17% of all dogs!
Just for dogs!
CERENIA was developed just for dogs. It is a safe and effective medicine that prevents vomiting caused by motion sickness, and it works very well — a success rate of up to 93%!
Here are answers to questions you may have about CERENIA.
How does CERENIA work?
Dogs get motion sickness either because they are anxious while traveling or because their balance is affected by movement. In either case, CERENIA blocks vomiting signals, which prevents dogs from getting sick.
How should I give CERENIA Tablets to prevent motion sickness?
Do not feed your dog for 1 hour before giving CERENIA. The best time to give CERENIA is 2 hours before traveling, with a small amount of food. Do not wrap the tablets tightly in fatty food such as cheese or meat, since this may keep the tablets from dissolving and delay the effect of CERENIA. Follow your veterinarian's instructions for giving CERENIA to your dog before traveling.
How often can I give CERENIA to my dog to prevent motion sickness?
You can give your dog CERENIA once a day for up to 2 days in a row.
Can CERENIA be used along with medicines for other conditions?
CERENIA has been given with many other commonly used medicines. But before treating your dog with CERENIA, be sure your veterinarian is aware of all medicines your dog is receiving.
Does CERENIA have any side effects?
Most dogs do very well on CERENIA. But as with all medicines, some dogs may experience side effects. Side effects are rare with CERENIA, but when they do occur, the most common ones are excessive drooling, lethargy, lack of appetite, and diarrhea. A few dogs may vomit after taking the medicine. Giving CERENIA with a small amount of food will help avoid this. Remember not to wrap the tablets tightly, so they can dissolve properly.
Is CERENIA right for all dogs?
Use of CERENIA has not been tested in: female dogs that are breeding, pregnant, or are nursing; dogs that have swallowed foreign objects; and dogs that have eaten poisonous substances. Caution should be used in giving CERENIA to dogs with liver problems. CERENIA is recommended for dogs 16 weeks and older. The most common side effects seen with CERENIA are excessive drooling, lethargy, lack of appetite, and diarrhea. If these signs are observed, stop CERENIA and call your veterinarian. For more information, read the full prescribing information.
CERENIA is recommended for dogs 16 weeks of age and older. It should not be given if your dog is pregnant, nursing, or breeding. Use with caution if your dog has a known liver problem.
Will CERENIA make my dog sleepy?
CERENIA is non-sedating, so most dogs won't feel tired or drowsy after taking it.
How can I find out more about CERENIA?
For additional questions about CERENIA or your dog's health, be sure to talk to your veterinarian. And check back here for an expanded, informational website in the months to come.
CERENIA once a day, and go!
It can be distressing to leave your dog home or in a kennel—now you don't have to. With CERENIA, your next trip should be a lot more pleasant and enjoyable for both you and your dog. Safe travels!

Slentrol

The first FDA-approved prescription medication to manage obesity in dogs
Obesity in dogs is an important medical condition with serious health consequences. Obese dogs often have difficulty with their joints (including arthritis). They are also more likely to have heart problems and trouble breathing. Dogs that are obese get more skin infections than dogs at a normal weight and may have more problems with anesthesia and surgery.
And obese dogs don’t run or play as much as dogs that weigh less. Climbing stairs is more difficult, getting in and out of cars is harder to do, and sometimes just walking down the street is a challenge. Managing obesity in your dog is not a matter of “looking good.” It’s about managing the potential for serious health consequences.
This site will help you learn more about SLENTROL, a safe and effective medicine that will help your dog lose extra pounds gradually, which is the medically recommended way to lose weight and sustain weight loss over time.
SLENTROL is available only by prescription. Talk to your veterinarian to see if SLENTROL is the right choice for your dog.
