What can I give my dog to prevent car sickness on a long trip?

We are moving soon and it's a 18+ hour drive. Our pup gets car sick if the drive is over an hour long. Is there anything we can do or give him to help him not get car sick during our long drive coming up? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 37 lbs

There is an awesome medicine called cerenia that is great for car sickness, but it is a prescription. I would call your vet and see if they would be willing to prescribed you some for your drive. One dose will last 24 hours and I would give it about 1 hour prior to leaving on the road. Be sure to tell your vet how many days you will be taking to drive 18 hours to ensure they give you enough doses. I hope this helps!
