When I first got Bogey the breeder told me to give him 1 Bonine tablet, (OTC), before traveling any great distance with him. He had a Bonine the day we picked him up from her because she had been traveling back from a dog show out of state. He seemed more tired than he should. On ordinary, short distance, (1 hour or less), straight highway driving he is fine. However, on longer drives that may include back roads, etc. he does not do well. When we were taking him on a 2 hour drive to see our newer Yorkie, @ 2 hours away, I asked our vet what to do. He said that Bonine is the pill of choice and we both agreed that I should cut the pill in half. This worked great when we returned to pick up our newer Yorkie and there was no prolonged tiredness as there had been before.

However, DEFINITELY CONSULT WITH YOUR VET BEFORE TRYING ANY MEDICINE.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
