Rio from day one has been so stressed in any car ride, short or long. She shakes and pants but luckily she doesn't vomit. We tried her in the crate, on my lap, in a car seat - nothing works. We've found she is the least stressed inside her crate, so that's where we usually place her now. Bullet from day one has been easy breezy - he just lies down and takes a nap. He's fine outside of his crate but for safety reasons we keep him in his crate in the car as well. I think personality comes into play in so many situations - it's amazing how different every dog reacts to situations no matter how much you try to do the same thing with both.
