Car Sickness

If she gets sick, reduce how many car rides she gets.

My Ginger always got car sick it didn't matter how far we went, when she ate, or whether she could see out the windows or not see. We tried Benadryl (as recommended by the Vet) and ginger (as recommended by our dog trainer). Nothing worked. One day the coordinator for a local rescue group came over with a dog bed with approximately 3-inch sides (it was just big enough for her to lie down in) and suggested that I try that to give her a sense of security.

It worked. She still slobbers and foams in the car, but she no longer actually gets sick.

Would it help if she sat in the front seat?

I took my sister's puppy to the beach year's ago. Everything was well until I went to park the car. I smelled dog food. I looked out back and Sabbie had puked all over the back seat.

Good luck with your car sickness.
