4:46 AM Managing a Dog Who Gets Carsick? |
Some dogs get sick while riding in the car. He may suffer from motion sickness. However, it is more likely that your dog gets sick because he is nervous and anxious about riding in the car. Consider whether you really need your dog in the car or if it would be better if you left him at home. If you want to your dog to be comfortable in the car, first exercise him so his fatigue will cause him to calm down. Sit with your dog in the car while it’s not running. Give your dog a treat and a comfort item such as a squeaky toy or a blanket. Try this few times before starting the car. Then go for very short drives so your dog experiences success by riding in the car without getting sick. Increase the distance and time as your dog will tolerate.
