Whenever I have to bring my dog in the car with me, she begins to ceaselessly drool heavily. Upon stopping the car she throws up. It has happened twice so far. Should I continue trying to avoid bringing her in the car, or should I bring her with me more often so she gets used to car travel faster? Its not like I can avoid from putting her in the car forever, but I would hate for her to suffer unnecessarily.

>make the car ride as comfortable as possible
>Your dog will experience fewer nauseating visual cues if they face forward while you’re traveling, rather than looking out the side windows. One way to guarantee this is by using a specially designed dog seat belt.
>lower your car windows a couple of inches while the car is moving
>keep the car cool and well ventilated
>limit your dog’s food consumption prior to travel. Then, right before the trip, give your dog a small piece of sugary candy (like a jellybean), which seems to reduce sensations of nausea
>Dogs that don’t outgrow motion sickness and don’t respond to conditioning may benefit from the use of medication
