At first we thought our new 1 year old German Shepherd Husky pup was just well behaved in the car...but then, on the 2nd time out, she threw up. Quietly, but still, she barfed...Admittedly, is was a trip that was about an hour, including stops, maybe too long for her.
So here is what worked for us: we take her out once or twice a week for a short ride, no more than 10 minutes, to dog training. We drive carefully. We don't feed her any meals up to 4 hours before a car ride. So far it's working out well. She is getting more interested in looking out the window, her mouth is not getting so watery any more. We think In time she will get used to it - and maybe even enjoy it - though that is still doubtful.
Of course after the second ride she refused to get into the car again and we had to lift her - that really was not acceptable...see our blog how we got her to jump into the car...:)
