A motion potion may do the trick
When all else fails, Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) -- the same drug people take to ward off car sickness -- also works for pets. Medium to large dogs should be given 25 to 50 milligrams of Dramamine at least an hour before traveling in a car, cats and small dogs should get about 12.5 milligrams. Be sure to check with your vet before giving your pet any medicinal product. We recommend an all natural pet calmer. You can also try a more holistic approach with ginger, chamomile or peppermint. Best to experiment on solid ground to be sure your pet can tolerate these herbs.

seats that attaches to a seat and you can secure him to it. I had heard that if dogs can see out the cqr they might have a greater chance of not getting car sick.

have washed the cushion twice

When I know we are taking him somewhere I don't let him eat.


He goes to the groomer tomorrow at 1. I won't let him eat till after

I will try the Dramamine

loved it

my new little guy...not so much

Use only small amounts of fresh peppermint leaves, not the candy, not the essential oil, and not synthetic. Essential oils are extremely strong and to a dog or cat, whose senses of smell are exquisitely more acute than ours, they can be actually painful.

Dramamine is likely to make him sleepy, so enjoying the ride could be moot. Many dogs, like humans, outgrow motion sickness in adulthood. Try waiting until he's fully mature, which is well over 1 year and closer to 2 for most dogs. And like some humans, dogs can have motion sickness all their lives.

Frogmarch's advice to try things ahead of time is good. Not all dogs (or cats) can tolerate herbals.

He didn't throw up on the way but I had to get him early -the groomer called and said he was a grumpy boy and wouldn't let them cut his hair.

He did get his nails done and his face trimmed and a tangerine bath. Just didn't get his massive hair cut. Will try it again over turkey break.
