Pup getting car sick in the dog box.
I have a 7 month old pup that gets car sick every time I haul him in the dog box. He starts drooling and slobbering and then he will vomit in the box. I thought he would eventually get use to riding but not yet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cure him of this? Dramamine....LOL?

take a rubber strap and hang it from your frame with a wire clothes hanger. where it can flap on the dirt. I dont know how but it worked for my wife and dog.

You may try withholding food from him for 8hrs prior to running. I also have gotten a few more comfortable in the box by putting them in there at feeding time, then feeding them in it. So it is not a bad experience for them. Good luck!

Mine did this exact thing, every single time I put her in there. She is about 11 months old now and FINALLY over it. All I did was keep taking her for rides. She doesn't drool anymore.

Mine did it for a long time. I would give her half a dramamine about 30 mins before i loaded her up. she eventually got better, but it took a while before i didnt need the dramamime anymore.
