Is there anything that I can do to stop my dog from being car sick?

+2 votes

My dog has a sensitive stomach. Everytime she needs to go for a ride in the car, up comes her breakfast. Is there anything that I can do to help her out? I'd like to send her to doggie daycare and can't unless I can get this under control.

Don't feed your dog for several hours before a car ride.Take short rides with her to accustom her to the motion of the car. Gradually increase the length of the rides.  You can bring her breakfast to daycare and ask them to feed her when she's settled in, adding instructions not to exercise her for an hour afterwards. A holistic vet can offer herbs  that will calm your dog (and her stomach). As a last resort, you can ask your vet for medications.
