Travel Sickness

Many dogs suffer from travel sickness, but you can do your best to prevent it by following the points outlined below:

1. Get the dog (ideally when he's still a puppy) accustomed to sitting in a stationary car.
2. Then take him on very short trips, gradually increasing their length until he's used to travelling in this way.
3. Don't feed him before a journey.
4. Travel sickness tablets can be helpful, but check dosage with your vet first.

Remember it's best not to let the dog ride with his head out of the car window, as often this sets up eye irritations and other ailments, apart from the danger that he may be hit or jump out.
