Travel Sickness In A Puppy

[DSJ]

Can anyone please personally recommend a pill for a travel sick puppy?

Talk to your vet.

Sorry, no. I've tried them all - to no effect. The best thing I can recommend is to take the puppy on very short trips, gradually increasing the length of travel.

Positive note: it did eventually work and she happily did over 100 miles at a time!

My daughter already has. He was of no help and said that there is nothing on the market. I know that there is but l was wondering if anyone could recommend something from personal experience.

My dog was fine when in the boot of the car, in a comfy bed

Johnsons Travel-Eze tablets are pretty good. You may have to administer about an hour before or even 90minutes before. It's advised to give the tablet 30 minutes before but in the past this hasn't helped.

P.S Always talk to your veterinarian if you are concerned.

Thank you very much. My daughter's puppy has to travel over 100mls on a frequent basis, no option. I'm sure he'll grow out of this in time but she is looking for something to help while he still has the problem.

My dog was always sick in the car when he could see out, vet suggested the boot and he was fine then

[DSJ]

Thanks to you all for your suggestions.

Give him a ginger biscuit about half an hour before travelling. Make sure he can't see out, travel him either in a covered cage with a non slip flooring or if small let him travel in the passenger footwell, as that is the place where there is least vibration.

No. I had a very travel-sick puppy/grew-into-dog. We tried everything. No pills worked. In the end the only thing that cured her was OH driving short, increasing distances with her in the back and me stroking her and being reassuring. Played Hell with my back, but it did work. Other travel-sick pups just got used to the car as one took them around - increasing distances all the time.
