Precious shivers & shakes when we go in the car too, but I think it's because she thinks shes going TO the vet or the groomer both of which she hates. I say this because when we leave the vet or the groomer to go home she does NOT shiver! LOL So I have begun to take her for rides when I go to the bank, or pick up a prescription at the drive through or to Petsmart & it is helping a bit.
