You know how most dogs enjoy riding in cars, especially if they’re allowed to put their heads through the window to simply feel the wind against their face? What if we told you that although this is true, there are many cases in which canines actually suffer from car sickness?
Enjoy The Ride… Or Don’t
While some dogs simply have a physical tendency to get car sickness, the condition can be a result of stress associated to visiting a vet or a kennel in other pooches. In any case, you’ll be able to notice it fairly easily.
The first and foremost symptom of car sickness in dogs is vomiting, obviously. Before this occurs, your pet can also show intense salivation, yawning, and even pacing and panting. If you see your pooch acting like this before you even start the car, he’s probably not going to have a pleasant ride.
The good news about car sickness is that most dogs outgrow it. However, if your pet isn’t showing any signs of progress and has a constant problem with car travel, consult with your vet about using Dramamine to help your pooch out.
