First, it is important that any dog suspected
of having motion sickness not be fed for
at least a
couple of hours before a car trip, as vomiting food becomes more likely if food is in the stomach.7
Once in the car, simply allowing fresh air in or allowing the dog to see out may help alleviate motion sickness in some dogs.7, 8 This is particularly true for puppies, who tend to be either fearful or motion sick more often than older dogs.8
