My 8 month old Jack Russel puppy, suffers from car sickness, has done from about 3 months old.

We only need to travel up to 1 hour, and she starts, usually twice, poor thing.

Could anyone tell me if this is inbred in JR's.

My last little JR/Dacshound. had the same problem.
She was a rescue dog,and we were only privalleged to have her in our life for 3yrs, before we lost her in march with a brain haemmorhage. this we put down to the problem of car sickness with her too.

Is this a coincidence, or is it inherant?

I have three terriers and if they travel in a cage are often sick but not if they have free range of the truck.

Ginger is very good for travel sickness and i give them a couple of ginger biscuits,normally prevents any sickness

Hello Bucksmum
Thank you for that, I shall try that, it seems to work for humans, so I shall try that.

We do give her the free reign of the car, but my poor cocker, does not like it, I don't think he can believe it either.

many thanks

Hey there,


Could take my black lab for a 5 minutes ride. I tried all natural remedies - no luck. My friend introduced me to the antistatic strap mizter and let me tell you. IT WORKS!!! No more car sick dog
