How To Prevent Car Sickness

Written By Guest User

Car travel is our favorite way to travel with dogs: Every year, dog lovers by the tens of millions take their dogs on car trips of 50 miles or longer. But a carsick dog can spoil the joy of travel for canine and human passengers alike. To prevent or minimize motion sickness in your dog, try these tips:

  • Feed your dog a light meal three to four hours before your departure time. 

  • Try limiting your dog’s view of the outside by covering his travel crate with a towel.

  • Keep the car cool and well ventilated. Cracking a window can help, too.

  • Ask your vet about motion sickness aids. If medicating your dog concerns you, look into the many natural options on the market.
