Pet's info: Dog | Toy Fox Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 years and 3 months old | 7 lbs
We need to travel with our 2 year old 7lb toy fox terrier but she gets car sick. Is there something I can give her to prevent car sickness?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The human medications for car-sickness rarely work well in animals and often can have serious side effects. I would recommend asking your vet about a drug called 'maropitant' or Cerenia. This is the best drug for dogs for car sickness. Alternatively Ondasetron can be used, however it might be hard to get a tablet small enough for Fiona. Best of luck with Fiona, I hope your car trip goes well.
