I used to have a dog who would get sick in mountain driving.The vet gave him “doggy dramamine”. It worked the first time. The second time I forgot to give it to him and tried to drive slowly and carefully. He didn’t get sick and never got sick again. ---

The dog became acclimated to being in the car under different conditions. This is much better than giving the dog drugs. All of the dogs I know love to ride in cars, and they don’t care where you drive. ---

Why, may I ask, is this in the “repair and maintenance” forum? ---
