Apologies if i am posting this in the wrong place, i am not familiar with the forum.

One of my dogs is always sick in the car and i am taking her quite far next week.

I have read about digestive, gastric, sedatives - but i dont really know what is best or what brand.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My lot used to be terrible for throwing up...couldn't travel ten minutes without them starting.I use travel-eze tablets by Johnsons,you can get them in a pet shop. We now travel a long way and have no probs :thumbsup:

thanks all!! thats great!! i went to the chemist but they didnt have sealegs - i didnt get an alternative because i didnt know if they were safe?? there was a kids one called traveleze i think, something like that???? would that be ok?? last thing i want is a porly pup!

i dont think anything could calm my dog down affieluver!!! she is a total mentalist! (w00t)

sarahloveland - thats exactly what my little girl is like!!!! she does this big grin and then just pukes!! my other dog (the one in my pic) hates it and it freaks him out!

At what age can you start to use these? Deedee (15 weeks) is 5 minutes in the car and throws up the first pile.. then it's another 4 times in a 45 minute journey ( which works out to over an hour while having 'clean up stops' :x and when she's not 'heaving' she's drooling and looks a sad, sad site There is no way she's getting in the car either, while the others jump in Deedee walks backwards begging me not to put her through it The other day she even poo'd while puking :x :x which is obviously the anxiety.. I hate doing it to her but need to get her used to it

 

Let us know how you get on 'lollyandkeano' and good luck
