My dog gets car sick. Can I give him Dramamine for long trips?

Question

My dog gets car sick when we drive places and at times throws up. Can we give him Dramamine or something like that when we have longer car drives so he doesn’t throw up? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 56 lbs

While dramamine won't cause harm for a dog, it is not the most effective solution. If you decide to try giving dramamine, I would recommend that you call your veterinarian, as it is not labeled for use in dogs. Please see the following for info on dramamine in dogs and for dosage recommendations. https://www.veterinaryplace.com/dog-medicine/dramamine-for-dogs/ The most effective medication for motion sickness in dogs is a prescription medication called Cerenia, which is available from your veterinarian. It is labeled for motion sickness in dogs and is extremely effective. Thanks for asking PetCoach!
