Dog Car Seats

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

I will try to crate Daisy first, before i try the car seat. I tried to crate train her when she was a pup, and she would absolutley freak! So, i'm a little worried it will distress her, and not help. She does not appear nervous at all in the car, she really seems to like it, just gets car sick. I hope i find a solution that works. I love taking them places, but am tired of dealing with the puke! i have gotten pretty good at knowing when she is about to, and can get her to do her business in a plastic grocery bag about 90% of the time. lol.

She is the main reason i bought an element (just this past weekend-yeah!)...NO CARPET

Elements don't have carpeting? I never knew that.

Good luck with your dog. I hope she stops puking.

I have that same exact car seat for my dogs. Works really well. My one was skeptical of it at 1st, but now he just chills. I think he thinks he's big man now....lol. And it acually should fit in the back seat. I have those seats that fold down to get in the trunk, so I just fixed it all up good, and it sits perfectly back there. I'm hoping what they're saying about crating works because I have a Pap who gets car sick. I put him in a crate and he throws up, but outside of one he just drools a lot. But maybe since yours throws up out of a crate, maybe it will work the other way...lol.
