My Pit Bull gets motion sickness in the car everytime we take her anywhere. Now she is riding with my husband, who drives an 18 wheeler, and has gotten sick several times in the last two days in his truck. HELP!!Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?You can give her dramamine (just like people take.) We had a 65 lbs dog and the vet recommended 1/2 of a regular person dose. It made him sleepy but worked pretty well! If that doesnt cut it call your vet. They can give you a script.Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?
My dog gets car sick. His trainer suggested that we do short rides - no more than a couple miles. And work up gradually to longer trips. We have had success with the couple miles and are thrilled. I know what you are going through. We had been taking a bucket in the car with us (on the weekends we go to our mountain house that is 50 miles away). By the time we would get to our destination our poodle that is 70 pounds would be exhausted and so would we. I hate to get the motion sickness pills because I'm afraid it will make him sleepy and we go there to have our dogs run and play. But throwing up is tiring also, so if we can't work it out the way the trainer suggested then we will use the meds. Good luck.Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?Plenty of alternatives such as the afore mentioned dramamine (dimenhydrinate, approx 2-3 mg/lb every 8 hours as needed). You can also go with acepromazine or diazepam among others, but these you will have to obtain from your veterinarian.

you should talk to your vet your pet might just be scard and ther isn't that i know of but you could call a pet stor and ask if there is hope it helps and i think an 18 wheeler probally won't help if it is bumpy sorry!Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?Yes go to the petstore they have, natural things like gravel that help animals with motion sickness, they also have a herb spray that calms them when traveling!!!Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?
Talk to your vet about a new medication called Cerenia. It works well for motion sickness.
Yes, they do, but mostly they use a mild sedative.Do they make motion sickness medicine for dogs?
Well I'm not really sure. My dog used to get car sick and I tried gravel but it didn't seem to work.
Yes. I would get some from your vet.
