<p>Kerry had car sickness as a pup, so we took him on many a 2 minute drive to the off leash park. Then increased the distance to the off leash park. It worked a treat with the help of some ginger tablets. He loves cars unless someone mentions the word Vet. </p>

<p>Hi Peter,</p>
<p>I have terrible trouble with my bitch who starts to drool when she sees the car or the dog trailer. Have tried her with everything from Sealegs to super-expensive tablets from the vet. Nothing worked so I am going to try your sister's method. It never affected her personality. When she got to the show I just had to clean her up and she was ready to go!</p>
<p>Are you coming to Sydney in April?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Hi Peter,</p>
<p>I think save up and sell the car is the best idea. He goes via Ballarat to go past it.</p>

<p>Hi Nicola</p>
<p>this is the worst litter I have ever had for travelling. You need to get hold of some Primatour they worked like magic on my two.</p>
<p>they are only available in Holland, I had some brought over for me at a show but they can be ordered on -line. I don't have the link but if you can't find it just put a request on this site & you will get plenty of replies.</p>

<p>I gave one tablet 1 hour before travelling but will reduce it to half soon. Sealegs, Sturgeron & some from the vets at nearly £10 per tablet were all useless.</p>

<p>Hi Nicola,</p>
<p>I wonder if your problem is pure motion sickness. I used Kwell recomended by my vet it is for humans so that may settle his tum. We started off with ginger and Bach flower that stoped him from throwing up on very short trips as will ginger bikkies. If it is the car i have tried everything he just hides and fights to get away, I can have roast chook, beef you name it and he will not come near, try leaving it on the bench ha gone in a flash.</p>

<p>I am at the point of saying save for another car as even his little friend happily sat there does not work.</p>

Hi Finn,<br />
Memphis is not car sick anymore the last time was when he was 11 weeks old all in all he was sick four times.<br />
I can go anywhere any distance in any car even a Falcon the same as ours different colour of course and fine no drooling panting or yawning, he has defiantly conditioned himself that this car is not nice. He does not have car sickness tabs any more.<br />
Thanks for all your ideas still think the end might be to sell the darn car.<br />

<p>Hi Rosie</p>
<p>We had the same problem with one of our old girls.</p>
<p>Would travel for miles in my landrover no problem at all...but if she went in my husbands citroen she was so sick and hated it ( I also could not travel far in his car had the same affect on me).</p>
<p>Riley gets sick in the Landrover unless he has sealegs which has sorted the problem.</p>
