According to a 2006 pet owner market research study, approximately 7.2 million dogs suffered from motion sickness (Mnetosis) that year, but only 25% oi the dogs received veterinary treatment for the condition. Because of pharmacologic advances and a better understanding of how to prevent emesis, pet owners have more viable options for helping nauseated dogs. This report is an overview of human- and veterinary-labeled pharmaceuticals and alternative medicine options for preventing motion sickness in dogs. Motion sickness typically manifests as signs of nausea and discomfort, such as excessive drooling, pacing, panting, swallowing, or lip licking. In some cases, these signs progress to abdominal heaving followed by vomiting.
