Note: There can be several reasons why a puppy or dog becomes “car sick”. We are not veterinarians nor are we experts on this matter, so if it is a regular issue, we recommend you check with your dog’s veterinarian to see what advice they can offer you as a solution.
The advice we are giving here is solely based on our own experience with our dogs and is not meant as medical or expert advice.
With that being said…
*We feed our dogs their meal the night before our trip, and then we do not feed them their morning meal before traveling that day.
*We bring high protein real meat dog jerky/tenders along with some dog biscuits that we feed our dogs as a snack until we reach our destination when it is a long trip.
*If it is a short day trip, we still do not feed them their morning meal. We feed them their meal when we get back home that day. We bring high quality snacks. The snacks are given at an appropriate time. This is to avoid them from getting bloat. Bloat in dogs (GDV) is a very serious life threatening emergency.
This is what helps our dogs stay happy and helps them to not get car sick.

Remember to always check with your veterinarian if your dog has any special requirements and for expert advice on your dog.
