Tini used to puke in the car every time. I have taken a multifaceted approach and finally she doesn't do it anymore.
The first time we went on a long trip she puked 4 times on a 4 hour drive. I felt awful. But, she would also puke on 10 minute trips to puppy school and to the vet too. My vet said she might grow out of it as she got older and recommended the following.
First, I got her a little car seat that attaches to the seat and lets her see out the window.
Second, I don't let her eat anything for about an hour before we are going anywhere.
Finally, we go really slow with getting in the car and getting going. First we spend 5 minutes in the car without the car on. Then we spend about 5 minutes with the engine on. Then I pet her a whole lot and we drive.
I started with only 5 minute drives and now am up to over an hour.
I would recommend gradually getting her used to being in the car and then build up the time. Then, once she is comforatable she will just sleep after settling in, which for me is the biggest relief.
Good luck and ask your vet.....they always know what to do. |
