Jill is twelve weeks old and ever since we got her she throws up either during or after the trip. Even it is only a mile or two. You know when she is going to blow because her mouth starts watering and her hair around her mouth gets all wet. Did anyone else have this problem at first and did they outgrow it? Our older furkid Jack is great in the car and we would like to be able to take them with us this summer.

My first malese used to throw up all the time in a car ride. Fist the vet advised gravel, but that did not work. Then they told me if we know we have a trip to take do not feed her before the trip . Bring the food with you and feed them when you arrive. I tried that and it worked.

We have to do the food thing for Ranger and on long trips give him dramamine( spell check that).

Some dogs do grow out of it. Dramamine or benadryl sometimes help, too. Is she nervous or does she just get sick?

She doesn't seem nervous, just nauseous.

Have you tried putting her in a crate? Maybe that would help?

We put her in a small box just in case. One thing that did help was putting a light blanket over her head so she couldn't see the road.
