Many moons ago, our vet told us how to get a pup or adult over car
sickness. It takes time but no meds are involved. For a couple of days, get in
the car with the dog and just sit there for 10 or 15 minutes. Talk softly,
scratch ears and make the dog comfortable. After a few days of staying
still, put the dog in the car with you and very slowly go a half a block -
no more - then go back home and sit in the car and do the loving for 10
minutes. After a few days, go around the block. Then gradually increase the
speed and distance by a couple of blocks. It took us about a month but it
totally cured the car sickness without using meds and having side effects.
If at any point during the process the car sickness returns, back up a step
and work from the distance that was comfortable for a few extra days.
Just gradually increase distance and speed. Good luck!
