Carsick dog

Dr. Doug,

I’m going to be bringing my granddog home with me for a week. She gets carsick. What can I use for her? I won’t feed her before. It’s a 2-hour drive.
She’s a golden doodle. 55 lbs.

Thanks!

Dale

    There are prescription meds, but dramamine works in some - same dose as a child. Also, benadryl can also work - 25 mg.

    Good idea to not feed before trip :B

    Most of our dogs got car sick when we first took them RVing - they all got over it quickly. If your driving a car then you might try leaving the windows open so they can hang their heads out. Another possible alternative is multiple stops until they adjust.
