Road Trips – How to Prevent Car Sickness for Dogs
Just like us humans, dogs can become car sick. Motion sickness can cause pet owners who love to travel to become weary. The fact that car sickness can be prevented for most canines is good news. Lets take a look at ways to counteract and diminish car sickness for dogs.
Car travel should be eased into. When theyre young, dogs are more susceptible to car sickness. Particularly susceptible are puppies. Gradually introduce your dog to car travel just as you would socialize your puppy by easing them into new situations. Give them sight out the front window in the front passenger seat, if possible, and make sure they have plenty of fresh air. Make sure the first couple of trips are short trips to help your puppy get used to traveling in a car.
Anxiety should be diminished. One reason for car sickness is because the dog is frightened or uncomfortable about the trip. It’s no wonder they are uneasy , if their first couple of journeys in the car are to the veterinarian. Instead, make sure their first couple of trips in the car are to enjoyable places like the dog park or to take a hike.
Consider a car carrier or car seat. Motion is one of the causes of car sickness, so a car carrier or car set helps your dog stay put while the car is in motion. Of course, its also important to drive carefully and dont take corners like Jeff Gordon on a NASCAR track.
Right before the journey, limit food. Prior to the trip, let your dog have a good meal a few hours before, but don’t let them eat just right before the car ride. This will ensure any food they’ve eaten has digested sufficiently. An empty stomach can also make them ill, so ensure they are not too starved and have eaten a few hours prior .
Ensure your pooch has lots of fresh air in the car. By this, a couple of things are actually being accomplished. They are distracted and the fresh air helps calm their stomach. Fresh air pouring into the car will be filled with new scents, scents that will keep your dog engrossed in identifying while theyre in the car.
Your dog should be well hydrated. Its important for dogs to have enough water in their system before, during and after a car ride. A dehydrated dog can suffer from car sickness much worse than a hydrated dog.
Stop frequently . Make sure you schedule pit stops so your dogs can exercise their legs and relieve themselves if you are going to be on the road for more than an hour. It is easier to control l dog car sickness and decreases their apprehension while improving their overall comfort.
Lastly, think about using herbal remedies such as Bach’s Flower Essences or ginger, in the form of ginger snaps or ginger treats, to diminish car sickness in dogs.Natural remedies like this can be great for many things from preventing car sickness to controlling shedding.
Your pooch does not have to experience car sickness. Whenever you hit the road, you can ensure your dog has a safe and enjoyable journey by careful planning and preparation, and following a few simple steps.
