[QUOTE="Iloveterriers, post: 1666363, member: 641479"] I've taken two of my dogs on a long trip before. They vomited in the car the first time (one in his crate and one on the car seat). Eventually I have learned some tricks that can help them feel better. First, keep your dog hydrated. It is very important. Stop your car every 1.5 hours and walk your dog around for 5-10 minutes so she can do her business. Before starting your car, give her water again (let her drink as much as she wants). Then 1.5 hours later, stop the car, take a short walk, and rehydrate her. Just keep doing that for the duration of your travel. Also, I've found that putting your dog on your lap and rubbing her will help to reduce her stress. I did these two things to my two puppies (8 months old at the time) and they were fine for the 7 hour car ride. There are also calming medication you can consider buying over the counter (some are all natural). They are useful for reducing stress caused by motion sickness.
