My adopted boy 3 y/o would get car sick. He only went to vet, early morning appointments so I held back food and water and he would still vomit, his muzzle would be soaking went from all his panting . The vet gave me Meclizine 12.5 mg to to given on an empty stomach 30 minutes before traveling . I have never used them. So the only time I would take the poor thing in the car was for vet visits only. The first week in June I bought a booster seat from Pet Supplies Plus, It has no stabilizer leg that goes from the booster seat to passenger seat, it is off the seat, hooks over the head rest and around the seat back. Cody eats at 7AM, when I go out it's between 10 and 11 am. He has not gotten car sick since he has his booster seat. Now when I say Cody goes bye bye in the car, he runs to where his harness is instead of running under the bed, when we get to the car he sits and waits for me to open the door, pick him up and set him in the booster seat instead of seeing the car and heading the other way and I would have to fetch him. He sits in his booster seat like a lil king, looks out of the windows, not panting, no vomiting, there is enough room for him to curl up and take his little nappy. I am one happy camper. Now where ever I go I take him with me, and he now LOVES the car.
