Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is somewhat typical behavior and really not much you can do. This is likely due to anxiety of being in the car and there are medications that can be given for anxiety such as gabapentin but I do not think that would be indicated in this case. Best of luck!
