Description
Cerenia Tablets for Dogs (maropitant citrate) are the first and only FDA-approved oral medication recommended by veterinarians to help prevent and treat vomiting caused by motion sickness in dogs. These tablets are scored for easy, accurate dosing and are a trusted solution for travel-related nausea. As many as 1 in 5 dogs experience motion sickness, making Cerenia the go-to antiemetic for car rides, vet visits, and travel days.

How Cerenia Works
Cerenia is an antiemetic that works by blocking substance P, a neurotransmitter in the brain responsible for triggering vomiting. The active ingredient, maropitant citrate, is a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist that effectively controls both acute vomiting and nausea caused by motion sickness, making it an ideal travel companion for dogs.

Cerenia 16 mg tabets
April 1, 2024
I use Cerenia for nausea and for motion sickness.It works great for both. However, the dose for motion sickness is MUCH, MUCH higher than for nausea. Also, for motion sickness, administer the Cernia 12 hours before travel. I have learned from trial and error, this is important for the Cerenia to work as intended.Although pricey, this drug is a life saver when taking my "car sickos" to the vet and when one of my terriers is feeling lousy.
Pros
- Works great for both nausea and motion sickness.
Cons
- Pricey

Too much packaging
October 9, 2023
I was VERY disappointed to open my first EntirelyPets order and find that the sixteen Cerenia blister packs had been removed from their box and put into two plastic drug containers. Why not leave them in the box? I will be looking for another pharmacy who won't do this.

Cerenia was recommended by my vet. My adopted senior dog has had a lot of issues, but she is very happy. I love that I can get such a nice price on it here.

Best price everywhere!!

My 15 y.o. rescue baby girl started showing kidney issues recently. One of the symptoms that I notice was that she started drooling excessively. This was because of her upset stomach. (Symptom of kidney problems in dogs). Cerenia is helping her with that. And it works. It really works. Also; you can’t compete with this price!!! The first time that the vet told me that I had to use it ( because I wanted to start her treatment NOW), I bought it directly from their own pharmacy. Their price? DOUBLE (literally) the entirelypetpharmacy.com price!!!!
Pros
- Excellent for some kidney failure symptoms.
- Excellent price.

My dog takes this medication daily to help with nausea for a gastric ulcer. I was searching or the best price as these pills are extremely expensive from my vet. Not only was Entirely Pets a great price but there was also an additional discount offered. The prescription was faxed from my vets office and I received the Cerernia in about 5 days. I will continue to purchase from Entirely Pets!

Great Product but Price is Getting High
November 17, 2019
I love the product but I wish the prices didn't always go up. Right now my youngest Wheaten is on several long term medications which cost quite a bit of money every month not to mention Vet bills and tests. Luckily we can afford it right now but so many people can not so please don't raise the price just because every other place does.

Works fast
July 5, 2018
I have used this product a lot .It works fast to help my pets feel better quickly .
Pros
- Works fast
Cons
- No cons for this drug.
- Dealing with Entirely Pets Pharmacy was a nightmare .
- First time ever that it took so long to get a prescription from an on line pharmacy.
- It took about a full month just to get my prescription into their hands.
- I had asked them to contact my vet and they placed one call then told me my vet said to pick up a written prescription.
- Which was completely false.
- So I decided to just mail them the prescription and when I received the product the condition of the boxes looked like they had been through someone stepping all over them.
- Thank goodness the pills are sealed well in their package from the drug company.
- Won?t ever order from Entirely Pets Pharmacy again.

Cerenia for car sickness
May 26, 2018
I love dealing with Entirely Pets Pharmacy. They contact my vet very quickly and call me if there is ever a problem. They always have what I need for my 2 dogs at very reasonable prices. The Cerenia has really helped my dogs be able to travel better without vomiting and feeling so sick. It is a great product and will use it for as long as I need to keep my dogs comfortable in the car.

Relief from nausea
September 10, 2017
Our mastiff is undergoing chemo for bone cancer. We give her one pill the afternoon after her chemo and for the following 3 days. This helps with her nausea and although her appetite is still diminished, she continues to eat. By the time the pills are done, her appetite is back and we continue on without any medication till her next chemo three weeks later.
