Product Overview

Cerenia (maropitant citrate) tablets are a prescription medication used to prevent acute vomiting and the prevention of vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs.
Cerenia is prescribed to dogs for prevention of acute vomiting or vomiting caused by motion sickness. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for vomiting in dogs.
For dogs ages 16 weeks and up.
Features of Cerenia:
  • Treats acute vomiting
  • Treats motion sickness
  • Non-sedative
Cerenia:
  • Is an antiemetic containing maropitant citrate
  • Prevents acute vomiting by blocking substance P, which is a vomit-triggering compound
The following side effects have been infrequently reported:
  • Lethargy
  • Drooling
  • Decreased appetite
  • Drowsiness
  • Diarrhea
If your dog exhibits any of these reactions, contact your veterinarian.
Maropitant citrate
Contact your nearest emergency vet in case of overdose.
Cerenia should not be administered to dogs under 16 weeks old or those with hypersensitivity (allergy) to maropitant citrate. Cerenia should be administered with caution to dogs with a history of liver problems.
Cerenia is sold in strengths of 16 mg, 24 mg, 60 mg, and 160 mg. Each blister pack contains 4 tablets.
Zoetis
Cerenia should be administered with a small amount of food (but not a full meal) two hours prior to travel. Do not use fatty foods, such as meats or cheeses, to wrap the tablets. This could prevent them from dissolving, delaying Cerenia's effect.
For motion sickness, this medication can be given once a day for up to two days in a row and 2 hours prior to travel. Dogs should not be fed 1 hour prior to giving Cerenia. 

Administer Cerenia orally once daily for up to 5 straight days at a minimum dose of 2 mg/kg (0.9 mg/lb) body weight.
The active ingredient of Cerenia, maropitant citrate, comes in strengths of 16, 24, 60, and 160 mg.

Keeps my Grayson cat from vomiting. He also has a heartier appetite when we give these to him on a daily basis. He used to vomit regularly, so I'm sure he's a happier kitty now. Thx!

Used with for my cat.

Prescribed by my vet to be used for my elderly cat. The pill is cut into quarters as a cat is much smaller than a dog. It works well and his has been putting some weight back on. Appreciate the pricing and quick deliveries. Thank you.

Great stomach relief.

Cerenia has helped my 17 yr. old dog for many, many years for stomach distress issues and always helps him. Allivet always helps me to help him!

Feline Asthma treatment:: This is an alternate use for these tablets that my vet suggested some years ago

I have been using Cerenia for at least 5 years or more for my cat who has feline Asthma and it works very well and makes it so that I can LIMIT the use of steriods in him. Too many Steriods makes him aggitated and then he is NOT nice to his sister!

My 17 yr old has kidney failure. Stomach upset is a side effect, Cerenia helps calm his stomach so he can eat.

My Yorkie has pancreatitis attacks and this helps when she is nauseous and won't eat.

This was prescribed for my chihuahua mixed dog. Apparently a slowly collapsing trachea responds well with this medication. She went from coughing all the time, gagging when eating, and dropping weight to almost being herself again. She’s an older dog and being able to give her more time to hang around happy, and me not losing her has been a wonderful and great experience, for lack of a better word. Thank you for a great product and a great place to get my meds for a lower cost.

Donald B Verified Purchase

This has been working well with my Gemma’s coughing and trouble swallowing. I was told that this is common with smaller dogs, especially those that are chihuahua mixed. It’s helped tremendously!

Daily use of Cerenia has greatly helped my senior cat’s IBD nausea & vomiting. Although usually picky, he hasn’t seem to notice it crushed into a squeezable treat like Churu.

Yolanda S Verified Purchase

Our dog has nausea every once in a while for an unknown reason. He’s been thoroughly checked out and he’s fine. When he has these episodes of hard licking and wanting to eat grass we give him half a tablet of the 60 mg tablet and the nausea subsides within an hour. Our vet recommended this and it works.

Marlin C Verified Purchase

Our pup has a condition that causes frequent nausea and Cerenia tablets help calm that down for him quickly.

This is a great product for my 20 y.o. Cat who has advanced kidney disease. Seems to make her feel better.

Emily

Works well to help our goldendoodle puppy not vomit when traveling by car. The pills break apart easily so sometimes I inadvertently give her less than a full dose (sometimes half a dose) and it still works well for her! There are no side effects from these meds.

Jo K Verified Purchase

This product has an off-label use as a cough suppressant for dogs with a collapsing trachea. Recommended by Teddy's cardiologist. It definitely helps.

Debra

I cannot say enough positive things about Cerenia. I have been using this medication for my kitties for years, and it has always worked amazingly well for any of them that have needed it. I am currently using it with my kitty that has IBD. She gets a small dose everyday, which really helps settle her tummy and make her feel better. I highly recommend it!

Jennifer L Verified Purchase

Works perfect for keeping our dog from vomitting on all our road trips, to and from camping locations that are sometimes several hours away! Tried over the counter stuff (for humans) but it made our dog acted almost paranoid/spooked by weird things for a few hours after taking it. Cerenia is the way to go!

Emerald W Verified Purchase

I use Cerenia to reduce inflammation in my chihuahua's lungs due to coughing as a result of her enlarged heart. It also helps soothe her belly as the cough medicine she is prescribed makes her nauseous. Also as a retired Veterinary Technician I have helped many veterinarians prescribe this product to pets for a multitude of reasons and it's simply a wonderful product, from car sickness, to general stomach upset, to even some anti-inflammatory properties for cough. A bit pricey, but the results are worth it.

Allivet has the best prices. My Veterinarian recommended them to me, and no where is there better customer service. I have had problems with fed ex shipments from them not coming on time, and they have gone above and beyond to get my dogs medicine to me at no charge to me. They are number one in my book.
