Share“This approval is good news for many dog owners whose dogs suffer from motion sickness and for whom even a small journey can trigger vomiting," said Stephen Sundlof, D.V.M., Ph.D., director of FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "But it is even more important for cases in which vomiting -- whatever its cause -- can be a serious health hazard."
The medication, Cerenia, can be administered orally or with a shot.
We’re glad that dogs everywhere can stick their heads out of car windows and enjoy the fresh air. Roll down the window, Spot. There will be no more puking in the back seat.
