My daughter has a dog that drools as a prelude to regurgitating after just a few blocks in a moving car. Hanging a head out the window sometimes helps for a while, but for travel any distance it is necessary to keep the dog sedated. This dog is crate trained, but does not do any better in a crate.

Try crate travel, but if that doesn't work, talk to a vet about a chemical solution.

Since you're in a class A, I would start with a soft sided crate - nice and large with plenty of room and toys and frequent breaks out to hug the humans when stopping. You might actually be able to train the pup to act right by crating him when he is acting incorrectly - although dogs should never see crates as a punishment - but rather a safe refuge.

Both of our Bassets are Rescue dogs and travel in their crates, one is a soft crate and the other is a typical large Airline crate. They are very comfortable and secure while traveling, any sudden braking would not cause them to become flying objects and get hurt. They have been crate trained since we adopted them 5 years ago.

I would crate train the dog so he is happy in his crate. Use the crate whenever you travel.

Male rid s in his bed between seats and may move for a pet or of course a snack if we are munching. Very calm. His sister rides in her crate with blanket over it and is not at ease but best in crate and that is her clhoice. Both seem to like their thunder shirts. We have some meds and will use them for long days. Male would ride on dash if we let him. Female thinks traveling at this speed is crazy. She get's in the crate when engine starts and comes out when it is off. Just stopping rarely gets her out a unless we call for her. Love having pups with us.

To help our dogs while traveling, we put their soft crates up on the bed in the back. They always rode in their crates, whether in the cars, or in the motorhome. They did not to like riding out where they had to always were trying to keep their balance during travel. In their crates, they could just curl up in a familiar location, and usually sleep. It has always seemed cruel to us to let animals ride loose, and have a lot more possibility of injury to themselves.

Get doggy downers and your traveling will get much smoother. Drs Brown and Smith'S Ultra Calm. Wife gets them mail order. No RX needed.

We had a similar thing happening with our rescue Maggy but on top of drooling, she tries to get herself under my DH's feet while he is driving. We put a board to block her from between the two front seats and put her Thunder Shirt on her. She weighs about 85 lbs and this seems to help her relax a bit. We have had her for more than 2 years now and have been across Canada and back and forth to AZ several times so I had hoped that she would finally become comfortable but the fact that being a rescue, it is difficult to understand what her life was previously so we just try and do the best we can for her when we travel.

Thank you for giving a rescue a second chance.

We med ours up for a long travel day. Talk to your vet and ask him/her what meds and how much would help.
