Dog motion sickness

Our Darcy (min-pin) Does not get motion sickness, but is greatly upset by roads that are "noisy" or bumpy. Ridged pavement that rumbles or concrete streets that cause a singing effect get her almost apoplectic. She is not a nervous dog, otherwise. Her harness is tethered back on a sofa bed, I don't want her up in the cab with us as it might not be as safe. She really does not enjoy riding in our class B like our previous dogs did. Any suggestions?

Of our last four fuzzy kids only one had difficulty riding in the truck. We took her for rides in the back yard then down to the lake and finally into town. Two months later we took all of them up to the mountains and let them run and play in a big meadow. She wasn't much for playing but riding in the truck was no longer a problem.

Our former dog always got car sick and the vet gave him Acepromazine. Worked like a charm. It was quite sedating, so the dog would just curl up and go to sleep...but easily wake up to go outside when we would take breaks. None of the natural stuff worked.

I would definitely check with your vet for the latest in motion sickness help. Our Golden, Gus, took Dramamine when he was young on the recommendation of our vet. This was well over ten years ago, though. He did eventually grow out of it, but as a pup he would start to get sick in the first three blocks from home. Some sort of tranquilizer might also work for you.
