Has anybody else's puppy been sick in the car every time i take Oscar out in the car he is sick a couple of times sick it's not long journey's the first time he was in car was when we brought him home he was fine second time also third time was a longer journey again he was fine the last twice he has been in the car sick everywhere sick he is 13 weeks old im hoping he grows out of this was at pets at home today and the said you can get travel pills but don't want to start giving him them unless it was an on going problem and we were going a long distance.

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!

Does he travel in the back seats or in the boot (assuming you might have a hatchback or an estate that is Surprised ) 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
