I. Symptoms of motion sickness in dogs
When dogs get motion sickness, they will start to have symptoms of irritability, constantly adjust their position in the car, and will also try to attract the attention of their owners and tell you their discomfort.
Afterwards, the dog will start to drool continuously, his eyes will become very dull, he will start to breathe short, vomit, and even become incontinent and weak in his limbs in severe cases.
Second, how to prevent motion sickness in dogs?
The symptoms of motion sickness in dogs can also be improved through daily training. If you plan to take your dog on a long-distance car, it is recommended to consider the following daily training.
1. Use food to lure or force the dog to get on the bus, and then feed the dog a snack as a reward after getting off the bus, and then the dog will take the initiative to get on the bus.
2. After the dog gets in the car, he can drive slowly for a certain distance. If he finds signs of motion sickness, stop in time, and the driving distance can be gradually increased each time.
3. Pay attention to keep the speed steady when driving, pay special attention when accelerating, turning and decelerating, and try to open the windows during driving so that the dog can breathe fresh air.
4. If the dog is still prone to motion sickness after training for many times, it is recommended to feed it pet motion sickness medicine before going out, and try to eat as little as possible before getting in the car, otherwise the dog will be more likely to vomit.
Third, what should I do if my dog gets motion sickness?

If you find that the dog has begun to show symptoms of motion sickness, first of all, pay attention to the speed of the vehicle as slow as possible, and then stop as soon as possible to let the dog get out of the car to breathe fresh air and walk for a while . If there is no condition to get off the car, you should also open the car window in time to let the dog breathe, which can also alleviate the dog’s motion sickness.
