Thank you both so much
I have been out today and bought a static strip for my car and I went to the health food shop to get some rescure remedy, they also recommended a homeopathic tablet called Travella which I got so I will give it a go. Im also going to cover the top of the cage.

We spent lots of our weekend out walking and going to the beach in the winter, this is why we also thought a dog would fit into our lives - we didn't think of the car journey.....never mind, these things are sent to try us.

Thanks again, have a good day

Try half a piriton tablet, the vets told my mum to use this. She goes away every weekend taking the caravan out, she gives the dog half a piriton, this stops the dog being sick and also keeps her calm whilst they doing the caravan.
Just a thought.

We also use sea-legs but only as a last resort.

Well, I think things are getting slightly better (better not speak too soon). We took Tilly out last night in the car, the journey was only 10 mins and she did not have anything to calm her or stop her from being sick, as it was a last minute decision to go out. She did really well, dribble but no sick on the way there - she got lots and lots of praise when she got out the car, then we had a lovely walk with her off the lead in through the woods. On return she did the same but this time even less dribble - so again lots of praise. This is the first time she has gone both journeys and not been sick for at least one of them if not both.

I just hope she is beginning to grow out of it. We are going down to Looe in Cornwall for a few days at the start of May - which is a 2 hr drive, this is why we are so keen to get this sorted. We will stop off loads and will be prepared to clean things up if we have a mess.

Sorry I did mean to ask tashi, if I get her Sea Legs for this longer trip to Cornwall, how much do I give her and how soon before travelling. Will she be ok at only 6 months old.

Thanks

So glad to hear that Tilly is hopefully getting used to the car she is now beginning to associate the car with nice things walks in woods etc. We all forget that probably the first time they go in a car they are being taken away from their brothers and sisters and all that they know with strangers to a strange house with strange smells etc and the next time they are like to go in the car it is to the vets where again strange smells and then 'examined' by another strange giant and have needles stuck in them.

She will probably only need about 1/2 a tablet and give her perhaps one the night before and then about 2 hrs before travelling she may be a bit dopey from them BUT hopefully by then you will not need them, will check on the dosage that we give ours and come back to you on it.

Thanks tashi, that would be great - I think taking this may be better for this longer journey.
