| My poodle got terribly carsick for the first two years of his life, but outgrew it. We did have the best success during that time with benedryl. Beau weighed between 4.5 and 5 pounds at that time, and our vet had us give him 1/2 children's tablet a half-hour before we got into the car. We travel to see family from Florida to NY at least twice a year. The benedryl did not always work completely, but we were able to make him comfortable most of the time. We also only fed him boiled rice with a little chicken breast on travel days...fed at least one hour prior to getting into the car to give him time to digest. Good luck. I hope your little one outgrows it too!

| In order to ease your puppy's nausea, it's best to understand what may be causing it. Rest assured, though, that it's completely natural in young puppies and even some older dogs. There are two common reasons for car sickness in puppies: 1. Rides are often associated with the first ride experience such as the needle pricks at the vet, bathing at the groomer, and boarding at the kennel. This can leave your scared puppy dreading anything to do with a car. 2. Another reason puppies get car sick is due to true motion sickness. Movement causes the fluid in the ear to move around which helps your pup orient to the world around it. Too much movement can cause dizziness and motion sickness. This can occur in dogs of any age. There are some ways to reduce car sickness: Relieve Stress To change the dog's mindset, turn the car into a puppy palace of toys and treats the dog only gets near or while inside the car. In a very gradual way, teach your dog that the car offers lots of benefits. Treats and good-dog praise and admiration can go a long way. Anxiety wraps and dog appeasing pheromones can be purchased in pet stores and can help decrease feelings of anxiety. Time Meals If the puppy has nothing in its tummy to vomit, it will be less likely to feel sick. Be sure to feed the dog several hours before you hit the road. Offer water, though, because that can help settle an iffy tummy. Viewing Pleasures The motion of a moving car without a view of the road can upset puppy tummies. Very tiny pups may not be able to see out the window, but when the dog is larger and able to window gaze, it has a way to get oriented with the moving world. Ensure that the puppy is safely restrained in a safe puppy carrier or other restraint in the back seat. Loose dogs in the car run the risk of injury or death if an airbag deploys. Also, a puppy barrier or dog crate keeps your young dog out of your lap, safeguards you from becoming a distracted driver, and also limits how much of a mess the puppy can make inside your car. Fresh Air Crack open the window for some fresh air for your puppy’s sniffing pleasure. All those fresh smells carried on the wind will distract the dog from any queasy tummy action. A narrow opening lets it sniff without risking eye injury from flying objects. Also, you will want to stop and let the puppy stroll around for potty breaks during long car rides. Most dogs love to experience new places with their sense of smell. A potty or sniff break can help your puppy associate the car with fun new places and things to explore. Treating car sickness is very important for puppies, as it might affect her socialization or cause motion sickness (boat, train, and airplane) during trips Read more:ttps://www.thesprucepets.com/puppy-travel-training-car-rides-2804753 Hope this helps! |

| Thank you. The last time I tried to take her she threw up all down the inside panel of the car. When we brought her home from the breeder she had eaten about an hour before and threw up everything then was heaving up bile until we got her home. Next time I will try a little food an hour before and give her the benadryl and see if that works. |
