Make sure the dog can see out of the car window.

dont listen to that bull. just get the dog out in the car as often as you can it will soon get used to travelling. imagine giving the dog ginger biscuits every time you went out

I've had success giving the dog Dramamine about an hour before putting it in the car. Several different vets have given their okay on it. Use the dose depending on the size of the dog - small dogs get children's dose, larger ones get adult dose.

 

Generally found that after a doing it for a while, several weeks to sometimes several months depending on how often you take it out, the dog gets used to the car drives and no longer needs it. So far it's worked for me on three different dogs.

Start with little and often, everyday, then increase.

mate,you sound just like me a few months ago,exactly the same problem i had with my whippetx,

as said before just get out as much as possible,starting with short journeys and getting further afield each time,try and make it enjoyable when you get to your destination,go for a walk and make it fun,the dribbling will stop, sickness will stop,this wont happen overnight,but it does get better,trust me,take your time,my bitch jumps in when i go out now,finally,

good luck
