Travel Sickness

[X5-JS]

Hi All

Tia can only travel in the car for about 30 min before being ill, does anybody have any recommendations for prevention/cure as I would love to take her and Branston on a family outing at the weekend but involves about 1.5 hour journey each way.

We got cerenia from our vets as my bedlington cross gets really car sick and they worked wonders ......they were quite expensive but worth it as we went for a 5 hr trip .....my friend swears by dorswet herbal remedies for travel sickness

1. Stick to motorways as much as possible.
2. Be slow on corners so the car doesn't roll.
3. Try to avoid sharp braking and harsh acceleration.
4. Windows open.
5. Find a brave family member who will let Tia rest her head on their lap while she lies across on the seat, it takes a lot of the bumops out of the ride.
6. Don't blame me if 5 goes spectacularly wrong

And ginger biscuits apparently work with some dogs ...

So John you are basically implying that I am a bad driver and yes I have had one of those spectacular fails, coming back from one of the charity walks we were stuck on the M25 for 2 hours on the way home, Man that took some clearing up

Did read about the Ginger but will enquire about the Cerenia

No no no, of course not. Well yeah, maybe
That was an unfortunate typo in point 5 though
The head on lap does work, Charlie use to puke on every car journey until we did this, but never got sick with his head on Chelsey's lap. Yes, Chelsey's lap - you don't think I'd risk mine do you?
