Most dogs love going for a ride in the car. Unfortunately, some dogs can actually get carsick. Here are some tips for dealing with a carsick canine.

It’s usually a good idea to confine your pup to a kennel. That way, if he makes a mess, it’s easier to wipe clean. Try not to feed your dog for at least four hours before you leave. You can also try placing the kennel in the front seat as it provides a smoother ride than the backseat or trunk.

Crank down the windows or turn on the air conditioning. You should also take frequent breaks by allowing your dog out of the kennel. Providing him with a drink of water during this time is a great idea as well.

There are some medications that may make the ride more enjoyable for your pup. Ask your vets Guelph, ON for more information.
