How to control 'car sickness' in my 7 month old puppy?

I've had this problem over the last few months with my puppy. I had him at 5 months old (he is nearly 12 months now) we couldnt go 2 miles down the road without him throwing up and drooling everywhere, but very very slowly, he is starting to improve. I obviously make sure he hasnt eaten before travelling. People always used to say he will grow out of it and fingers crossed he seems to be. Its been a long process!! People have suggested that I use a crate in the boot but have never actually tried this. I did tried various alternative tablets and (expensive) sprays but nothing made the slightest difference. The drooling is a stress thing and she will hopefully gain confidence the more she travels. Talk to her while your travelling and give her lots of reassurance.

Good luck!

The law is 20 lbs AND 1yr historical. This is an old regulation and it's now recommended that you just leave a youngster within the RF position as much as the seats potential, which on the good ones is around 33- 35 lbs. Youngsters are safest going through backwards, considering that their bodies are cradled with the aid of the seat in the event of a crash. Despite the fact that he would handiest be to your mom's automobile a couple of times, what if that is when the smash occur. I've 3 Britax Boulevards for my truck, my husbands vehicle, and my mother's vehicle. These seats were $300+ every and i do not care because i know my little one is nontoxic. That you would be able to get just right, risk-free convertible seat with around the same weight limits for less expensive, that is just the seat I selected. My daughter might be 2 subsequent week and is still dealing with backwards and normally nonetheless might be this time subsequent 12 months as she is most effective 23 lbs. Just right good fortune! EDIT** also simply fyi for the response above that you would be able to purchase FF seats which are still a 5 point harness and no longer a booster, but staying RF is best

Yes, I suggest riding in the crate.

You can ask at class about the car sickness.

Try transporting her on an empty stomach, getting to class an hour early and give her a very small meal and let her poop before class so she's not starving or uncomfortable.

I've heard of dogs being carsick, but none of mine have ever been anything but delighted by car rides.

Good luck.

With my dog the vet had me give her non-drowsy Dramamine 1 hour before the car ride. Then on a daily basis, without the Dramamine, go for a ride around the block each day and increase the distance the next week until she adjusted to being in the car. After 2 months she was able to go anywhere without throwing up.

They have to be able to look out the window to see the movements of the car. Sometimes a bad driver that cannot be smooth and steady on the road and is constantly weaving causes people and dogs to get car sick too

1) take short rides to get her accustomed to the car

2) take water from home when you travel; its a security blanket, of sorts.

3) give her time to smell the car..so many new scents, gotta check them all out!
