Also, motion sickness pills, rather than just plain old anxiety pills, will help these dogs.
Oh, I've tried everything regarding drugs and the vets have been involved, too. Both boys are in booster seats in the back seat where they can see out. The one with motion sickness doesn't enjoy this in the slighest, and I've actually had better results (shockingly) with him just in a harness attached to the seat belt on the actual seat as opposed to the booster. We also have a bike trailer for my bike with mesh to see all around it, and I figured he'd be fine in there...but, alas, he is not. He will get sick in that, too. Not sure what exactly can help him out, but we've tried just about everything!
