A remedy for car sickeness - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was at the vet with Thor today and while I was waiting for him to get his shots

I was reading a very interesting article about how feeding your dog a bit of ginger, or a gingersnap cookie 20 minutes before you travel can help with motion sickness. For medium to bog dogs, feed 2 or 3 cookies.

That is wonderful to find out! All five of mine are not good car-riders due to car sickness (or maybe it is my driving??

), and I really wanted to get them out and about more to work through it. We will definitely try this trick! Thank you so much for sharing...

Thanks for this informative tidbit! Will try it on our up and coming move from the Midwest to the East Coast in a few weeks. Wish me luck... Two furbabies, three teenagers and 15 HOURS on the road
