| Car sickness, kinda late now but let me throw this out there for the future. Have you thought of purchasing a booster seat for her. My dog would get car sick 10 minutes after being in the car. I got him a booster seat that is elevated OFF the passenger seat, that was 14 months ago, I take him in the car at least 4 times a week, he has not gotten sick from day one of using this booster seat. A under $30.00 investment to make my dog happy and eager to go for car rides. It was gotten at Pet Supplies, if you have one of these pet stores in SA maybe you should check it out. Pic attached.

| What I have found as far as booster seats go is, for some dogs that suffer from motion sickness the booster seat MUST be suspended OFF the passenger seat. A booster seat that sets ON the passenger seat road vibration still passes through the booster seat and the dog feels this vibration. One that is suspended OFF the seat eliminates this road vibration. You must also change your driving habits, such as taking turns slower, changing lanes, wait for more then enough space to move over so the lane change can be done at a smoother pace, not see an opening and dip right in, these fast movements is what causes dogs to get sick. If you have hills slow down when coming DOWN the hill. Me, I drive my cars like I am in the Indy 500, 80 MPH is my cruising speed, I had to change my driving habits when I have my boy in the car. I also have a pick up truck, if you have ever been in one you know it is a bouncy ride, my boy does well even in the truck which I use 90% of the time. Just food for thought, not everything works for every dog, it's trial and error.

YT 500 Club Member | Try getting her to eat anything with ginger in it, be it a cookie or ginger soda . Ginger settles their stomach so they don't get nauseous . Toby only likes it if I dip it in milk first. But he used to get carsick religiously. I started driving slower with the window down so he had fresh air and a booster seat, and now I can't get him to get out of the car. |
