Take Max for as many short rides as possible every day -- always ending the ride on a positive note before he gets nervous and throws up.

Max needs to learn that going for a ride is the best thing in the world and that the rides will end with a huge wonderful treat at the end.


I also will turn the a/c on for them and make sure the blower faces their way. Hot Rod seems to feel better when he's cool. I also have them high up in a snoozer car set so they can look out the windows.
