Tips and a Natural Remedy

Many dogs suffer from car/motion sickness, especially when they're young. Some outgrow it, but in the meantime, you may want to make sure your dog has an empty stomach before getting in the car. Don't give him any food 3 to 4 hours prior to travel. Do make sure he's had water. If you know your dog is prone to car sickness, be sure to take it slow, and be extra careful around sharp curves or up and down hills.

Our homeopathic Motion Sickness is excellent - with NO side effects.

Fast stops and starts are rough on upset stomachs. Open the window a little, fresh air does wonders for animals that have a tendency to get car sick. Take note of the temperature; dogs cannot regulate their body temperatures as efficiently as humans can, so make sure it isn't too hot or too cold in the car. Looking out the window can bring on nausea in many dogs, so keep your pet safe and secure in a covered kennel, or get him to lay down on the floor. For some dogs, the fear and anxiety attached to automobile travel are the cause of nausea. You can help calm your pet by using Rescue Remedy (our popular stress reducer) Finally, it's a good idea to visit a rest stop every hour. Give your dog time enough for a quick stretch, a short walk and a drink of fresh water.
