My nearly five month old puppy is fab in every way, everything we hoped he would be but one thing he's desperately travel sick.
I have done everything your meant to do; driven him daily, increased the distance, nice things to do at the other end had him on the front seat back seat and boot all to no avail. He can go about 5 mins before showing all the signs of travel sickness. I can't take him in the car if he's eaten in the last three hours. As soon as we go near the car he slams on the anchors and I have to pick him up. He starts shaking before we even start moving salivating/yawning within about 5 minutes only on the motorway is it marginally better but we live in a tiny rural town. What I hadn't noticed till now is how bumpy/uneven our roads are he whines when ever we go down/over a bump and that we have speed humps everywhere!
I'm now of to the vet but have been told that you can only get treatment for one off journeys not regular journeys.
Normally I wouldn't bother because we've got plenty of walking on our doorstep but he comes to work with me (a 60 mile round trip) as he is excellent therapy for the staff and visitors where I work and he loves it there!
Will it get better I suffer from terrible motion sickness and mines got worse as I've got older!
