According to market research from Pfizer Inc., as many as one out of six dogs experience motion sickness. However, medications and natural remedies can help.
Natural remedies for motion sickness:
1. Keep a window partially open so that fresh air can relieve the symptoms.
2. Use flower essences which are calming
3. Sooth the stomach by feeding a little bit of ginger, peppermint, or chamomile.
4. Give your dog a soothing, whole-body massage before hoping into the car.
Nonprescription medications for dogs with motion sickness include Benadryl, Dramamine, and Bonine. All have sedative effects and should only give these medications with a veterinarian's recommendations and instructions.
Happy travels to you and your dog!
