Travel Sick Dog

[dragonfly]

does anyone have any ideas for stopping a dog being travel sick??

Never even got out of Thurso tonight before he threw up!

Not handy when you are only going as far as Dunnett Forest

Rescure remedy out of any good chemist give on wee treat 15mins.before you go out in car will relax him,for humans but well used on animals,it comes in drops or spray,spray is easier to work with,hope this helps.

just keep persavering with it, also if you buy a good dog box like a lintran, it doesnt matter what they do as its easilly cleaned.

I'd advise having the dog in the car as much as possible including playing with toys and feeding him in there occassionally.
Lots of short journeys with reward at the destination and remember not to feed him a couple of hours before travelling, he'll soon grow out of it.

thanks all, will try some of the suggestions and hope he does grow out of it! first dog I have had that has been sick so came as quite a shock.

Think its down to him being brought up here from Bournemouth as a pup, must have been a stressful event for him - I'd be put off going back in a car again after that journey

Hi there, Bach Rescue Remedy approx £5 worth a go. Herbal for humans and pets. My vet told me to use it for my cats, we had 700 miles to do. One bottle lasts for ages as you only need 4 drops via a pipette in the bottle. Really great, it restores natural balance in the body and calms the nerves. It is great for humans and pets. My vet uses it for his dogs. Hope it works for your dog. :-)
