Well That Didn't Work

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Harlow is still getting car sick whenever she goes for a ride which is at least 2 to 3 times a week. I was researching on the web (and DK) for natural remedies for preventing car sickness. Several articles mentioned fresh ginger or gingersnaps. So today I tried the gingersnaps. I used the gingersnaps as treats while we practiced our obedience. I waited an hour before our car ride so Harlow could digest. We weren’t even 2 miles down the road before Harlow up-chucked in the car seat. Thankfully, I have a removable car seat cover. We returned home and I threw the cover in the washing machine and bathed Harlow.

We will give another try tomorrow.

Guinness also gets carsick, even on very short trips. The vet says he will outgrow it. If not, she'll give us medication. Not sure exactly what she has in mind. He's six months now, so I'm thinking he may not outgrow it.

Can you try slowly putting her in the car for a couple of mins and talking with her gently... and increase it daily till you have to take her away...do it a few xs a day if you can and increase the time by 2 minutes till you have her at 30 mins...than try taking her in the car.
