I adopted Cody when he was 2 1/2 y/o, I have to assume he was not in a car much. The day I took him home he got car sick, the next 2 times in the car, he got car sick. I always took my pups with me even if it was just to the bank. With Cody that was out. My vet gave me pills that had to be given to him 30 minutes before going in the car. I really don't want to have to give pills for a car ride, and most times it is an unplanned car ride, pill had to be given on an empty stomach, Cody eats at 7AM, if I wanted to go out at 9AM his stomach would not be empty, so I never used the pills. For the first 7 months I had him the only time I put him in the car was for vet or groomer, I was not a happy camper. Then In June I got him a booster seat from Pet Supply, it is suspended off the passenger seat. An adjustable strap goes over the head rest, another adjustable strap goes around the back of the seat, there is an attachment that clips to dogs harness so they cannot jump out of the booster seat. NO MORE CAR SICKNESS. He now loves the car, he can see out of the windows, I got one larger then I needed to ensure there would be room for him to sleep. He sits in his booster seat like a little king on a throne. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I am able to take him all over knowing he will not get sick, and no pills that will make him drowsy.
