You can try giving Dramamine which is available over the counter, however it is not specifically labeled to use in dogs, and it is not effective for all dogs. See info including dosage here: https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/dimenhydrinate/ There is a prescription medication called Cerenia, which is highly effective for motion sickness. You can ask your vet for a prescription for this medication if Dramamine doesn't help. Thanks for asking PetCoach!

    Check this article on PetCoach on how to handle car sickness in dogs. You may need to get prescription medication from the vet for Minnie to deal with it. https://www.petcoach.co/article/car-sickness-fear-of-riding-in-cars/
