Dog gets car sick

[Big Dick]

Got a young female that's coming on pretty good.(when I run her behind the house.) Put her in the box for a little road trip to run and she throws up all over in the box. Now I'm only talking about a 6 mile trip..It takes her a little while to snap out of it when we get there but she is very sluggish and not herself.......any input would be much appreciated....thanks, Dick

this is just my 2 cents worth but I would take her out every chance I got whether I was hunting or not get her used to it maybe it will help maybe not.

Weve got a male that does the same thing ,,Foams at the mouth ,throws up all that ,He hates riding in the box...Hope you have better luck with yours The last time mine rode in the box to get rabies shot he was a MESS when we got there,,LOL Good luck if you find a good remedy let me know,,Shannon

I always blame it on Ralph for driving like a loon. It's like, "Danggg, Ralph! Can you throw those dogs around any worse back there?" lmao.

Just thought i would let you know i had a dog that would this she out grew it I just started driving all around the state with her to the u.p. the thoumb area running her in field trials where she spent a lot of time in the dog box what helped is she was naturaly deer broke her and i spent a lot of time afield running with other dogs i could turn her loose any where and she would find a rabbit or hare she died of old age in my kennel she was a true Angel

You can give dramamine for motion sickness. 2-4 mg per pound orally every eight hours. I have never tried it so do not know if it would make them sleepy or not. Might be worth trying out though.
Good luck

Don't feed the dog before you get in the car... nothing to throw up. Probably won't help with the motion sickness but it will keep the mess down.

Don't feed her the day you are going to haul her & give her about 3 saltine crackers when you load her in the truck. Some days when you are working around the outside of the house, put her in the dog box & just let her sit for a hour, don't even have to go anywhere, it will help. I have seen pups you could put in the box & they would start slobering before you even move because it stressed them so, once they get comfortable with the box, the ride won't scare them half as much.

Hey Plowboy I wish you would practice what your preaching.Evertime I
haul is hounds they puke all over my dogs and box! He might feed them
just before I get there on purpose.(lol)That's how family will do you,I guess!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding Cuz
Plowboy is right I've used his mythod and it worked for me. Good advice
Cuz.

I would not give her the dramamine, you think she's sluggish now. Plow is right start letting her sit in the box in the driveway, not moving. I had two females that got sick every time I made the 20 minute trip to my running grounds. One weekend I took them on a 6 hour trip one way to run with a buddy. When we got there they were a mess. After the return trip home they were clean. Been clean ever since.

A Vet once told me to give them some ginger snaps cookies a half an hour before the ride. I just bought a dog kennel instead!
