[QUOTE="atoy1011, post: 1666361, member: 641478"] ...Eskimo. Long car...? She's never been on a long car ride before, and she isn't afraid of car rides. She rides in the car a lot, either to the park or to other people's homes, but those are usually only 10-20 minute drives. We will be traveling from the SF Bay Area to Reno, Nevada. Our 3 year old miniature American Eskimo just pants a lot in the car, and I'm not sure if she'll do that the ENTIRE way there, and if that could be bad for her. Also, what about the change in elevation when driving through the mountains? Could that harm her? She's usually good in the car, and happy. She just pants a lot, like, non-stop. She used to throw up in the car when we first got her a couple years ago, but she's gotten used to car rides and she hasn't thrown up in a very long time in the car.
