Travelling

Hi all

Wondered if any of you could give me a little advice:

We have had Star in the car with us a few times now obviously to bring her home, yesterday to the vets and back and tonight to see some friends yesterday and tonight she has been sick in the car luckily on blankets , She also slobbers ALOT!!! when in the car, i can understand because its all new to her and scary, I was just wondering if anyone could advise of how to try and keep her calm when in the car and how we can help her not to be sick.

I have the vets tomorrow afternoon with her and will be travelling in my dad's car, and the last thing i want is for her to be sick in there :/ as its a mobility car and there is no way my dad could clean it up I will obviously with a peg on my nose (I don't do sick). She will be on the floor on some blankets i always keep talking to her and stroking her to try and keep her calm.

Any help would be really appreciated as never had this with any dog i have owned. TIA xx

try ginger biscuits they are great for travel sickness and a nervous belly - worth a try

Cool, will give that a try. Will she be ok eating a bit of a ginger biscuit? Like the ginger biscuits we have?? Just hope she will be fine tomorrow on the way to the vets and back.

yep the ginger biscuits you get from the shop i'd try her with half one to start with

Brill I will defo give it a go and see how she is, I want her to be able to come for drives with us and Prince so if it works with her it will be a big help, Thanks Ella

well they are so cheap it's worth a try!

Definitely, will give anything a try to help her

Sorry I'm not much help as my pup loves the car (hates getting out tho !!) but is it possible to have someone sit in the back with her to lessen the anxiety which may help prevent the nausea ? Good luck !

Darcy hates the car but thankfully isn't sick, I spray the car with dap spray to help keep her calm xx

She sits up front with me she goes in the footwell on lots of blankets and her fav toy,i sit stroking her and talking to her but doesn't seem to do much.

She is fine when the car is still its just when were moving.

Whats your opinion on that product

We had a lab cross who was travel sick, he had to sit in front between my legs with a bucket at the ready found some natural remedy liquid from a pet shop that you gave an hour before travelling..... It smelt rank thou so I had trouble getting it down him

Ginger is great for up set tummy, as well as the biscuit are you able to get hold of some ginger chews too, usually in a small green box like this ?

I will hqve a look for them Kathy

They are usually available in healthfood shops, eg: Holland & Barratts
