How to stop my dog from getting car sick?

My dog salivates bad and vomits during car trips.. She's been for rides on the back of a ute twice and both times she only vomited once (and pooped both times lol!) so she's not AS bad on a ute, but we don't actually own one... Are there ways to get a…

    • Don't feed her before going on a car ride.Start driving slowly around your driveway/road and gradually build up to going to the beach/woods/local town.The motion of a car makes dogs feel sick, and if they have eaten its way worse and if you are going very fast.Open a window but not wide enough for her to jump out. Allow her to poop/pee before going on a car ride and like I said, gradually build up speed and distance and eventually she will learn.

    • I had a Sheltie that got car sick his whole lifetime and we certainly did a great deal of driving. It didn't help him, but giving him a Bonine tablet 1/2 hour before departing stops the vomiting even though he salivated quite a bit until we got there.I understand giving a dog a gingersnap cookie sometimes help also. I don't know if your country has Bonine, but I'm sure it has the equivalent and a druggest would know what it would be.It's raspberry flavored and my dog loved them. The effects lasted for 24 hours and it didn't make the dog drowsy.
