How to Treat Your Pet's Motion Sickness
Does motion sickness stop you and your pet from traveling together? In my experience I have found that a lot of owners don’t tell their veterinarians that their dog or cat gets sick riding in the car. They seem to accept it as a way of life and only put their pet in the car that one time a year when they have to make the trip to the vet’s office.
Luckily, there are treatment options for your pet. This problem is much easier to treat when it is diagnosed early before it becomes a pattern for your dog or cat. They may start to associate the car ride with getting sick which could require retraining as well as medicating.
Most of the time, by using simple over the counter medications like meclizine (Bonine) or dyemenhyedrinate (Dramamine), vomiting in the car can be prevented. Another trick is to not feed your pet 2-4 hours prior to your car ride. If these tricks don’t work for your pet, there is a prescription medication available called Cerenia that works very well to prevent vomiting. Just make sure to talk to your veterinarian about this problem so that he or she can help choose the right medication.

We had a problem with our Black Lab getting car sick, so we called our vet and he suggested Chlorpheniramine. Sounded daunting so we called the pharmacist at petcarerx.com and they confirmed that it's a mild way to treat motion sickness in dogs. If you want to give it a try, go to http://www.codesthatwork.com and click the link there. It'll save you 30-40% off your order of Chlorpheniramine at PetcareRX.
