Managing Car Sickness When Travelling With Your Dog
Car sickness can make dogs feel sick, scared or both, especially puppies whose balance systems are still growing. Signs include drooling, panting, whining, trembling, vomiting and refusing to get in the car. Help your dog by taking short, happy trips, avoiding large meals before travel, keeping the car cool, using safe restraints and driving smoothly. Familiar blankets or toys, regular breaks and calm training can also help. Speak to a vet if your dog is often sick, very worried or refuses to travel, as medicine or behaviour support may be needed.
