Dog gets carsick, should I take her on a plane??? Tinkerbell is almost a year old and ever since we got her she throws up every car ride. A carrier doesn't help because she will throw up and then shes stuck in there with it. I tried leaving her on the passenger seat but she won't sit down and therefore she barfs. I've heard of putting her in the back seat but I have a van and that is extrememly far back since the kids are in the middle. I will be taking her on a flight from arizona to seattle in December and am wondering if she will do the same thing. Is there anything I can do for her on the plane? Do most yorkies bark when they are flying? I just don't want her to throw up, or poop on herself when we are on the flight. ANY helpful advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks |
Welcome. I don't know if the air sickness and car sickness go hand in hand. My Pixie gets carsick and I never thought about air sickness. Hopefully someone who has experience with this will post. |
I have purchased doggie car seats that put my dogs up higher. That has helped. One of mine, though, has to have 1/2 a Bonine pill (travel sickness pill) a half hour before we leave. I also restrict his food and water intake. The 1/2 tablet is for an 8 lb. doggie. Bonine is found at Wal-Mart or Walgreens. Be sure to consult with your vet. Vets also have travel sickness meds available. |
Interesting question but I think it is the motion in a car (going around corners etc) that make them ill. I would get a lookout seat so she can sit higher this seems to help the dogs. I have never had a dog get air sick but I do want to warn you TO NOT give your little one anything if you are putting her on a plane. Even the airlines will warn you this could harm their breathing. I just don't think planes have as much motion as cars do so I think she will be fine. Mine just fell asleep. What do you plan to carry her in for the plane ride? |
Thanks for the advice. I was going to buy a soft carrier to bring on the plane with me because all I have right now is a hard carrier that is approved for flying but its just kind of bulky. I will also be flying with my 4 yr old and 2 yr old daughters and bringing my yorkie. I will definately look into a carseat that sits high for her. I had no idea about the breathing problems, but I will ask my vet as well what they think since she is only 4 lbs. Thanks! |
