I wish that I knew how to cure my Dora's carsickness. She throws up after only 2 mins (I've times it) in my van. And she will continue to throw up every few mins of the trip. She is NOT anxious while in the van (or anywhere for that matter). She's a really adventurous girl. Not sure what to do...I know there is meds, but I don't really want to give her medication every day, just to bring her with me. I'm looking forward to reading tips that are offered on this thread. I will be trying the gingersnaps, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

It sounds to me like Ziggy's car sickness is more related to anxiety. I think in time (with short car trips) you will be able to desensitize him. Good Luck!
