But I read all about it on the link you sent and it sounds like a really good product.
I just don't understand why it cannot be used on a dog 16 weeks and younger. Like where did they come up with that exact age? lol.. Would be nice to be able to give it to puppies be flown and such (of course pre-tested on the pup b4 leaving)..
I always LOVE the possible side effects of drugs...... But these are a little concerning to me..

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?
The safe 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 (5-13%), lethargy (9%) and vomiting not due to motion sickness (5-9%). |
i think the reason not to be given to puppies of that age and i could be totally off base here so others may jump in - is because it affects something in their brain to keep them from reacting to the motion and these pups are still developing so may be why they are against it or could be due to size not sure
the other thing is this has to be given 2 hrs before leaving lollll that is a long time to prepare before getting in the car
