Bailey gets travel sick aswell but he's getting better. We just took him on 5 minute drives and gradually got longer when he was comfortable! It just takes time but now he can last an hour (longest journey we've went) and been fine!

If you can hold of some ginger chews they are great for upset tummies and travel sickness, puppy can have a little piece of one of them, usually available from healthfood shops:

sky is sick every time we take her out and we have tried everything! anxiety relief drops, rescue remedy in her water, ginger, travel sickness tablets and nothing works and she is now 7 months old. I hope they do both grow out of it soon!

Re: Travel sick puppy
Does he travel in the back seats or in the boot (assuming you might have a hatchback or an estate that is ) You could look into tryin g a thundershirt if it is an anxiety based sickness

and regarding the mess in the backseat to make things easier for you how about one of these
