ginger is supposed to be good for upset tummies..you could try a ginger nut biscuit.

and I have heard that dogs travelling on the floor of the car don't get so car sick..

You could try using the DAP spray in the car 10 minutes before you go. Yes it does look expensive but it last a long time.

My scrumps was always sick! I don't drive so she wasn't in a car very often!

If you can take her on short journeys so she gets used to the car do, often if you can. Get her used to the motion.

I wouldn't feed Moo before car journeys, say travelling at midday I am affraid she had no breakfast, there ok, made up for it at tea!

Give it a bit of time and she'll manage. Xx

My dog used to be sick all the time when I traveled. Now when we go I cover up her crate with a dark cloth and she just falls asleep. All I have to do now is put up with her snoring ha ha hope this helps.

How long would it be after the start of your journey before she is sick, does she worry and get anxious in the car ??

Zeus used to be sick in the car too but I done what most people advised me to do on here, sat with him in the car for a while even though we weren't driving anywhere, just so he got used to the car. I also took him on short 5/10 minute journeys so he can get used to moving in the car and over time he was fine!
