Give it to them 30 min before you leave...I had a dog that would puke its guts out as soon as the car got moving..I would give him the dramamine 30 min before if it was a long ride and he would be fine. Dramamine can make some dogs thirsty so give them some water if you stop or when you get there. I have had some be very thristy and some not at all...

Marty also don't feed them before the ride this is what my partner says help him. Also try putting him inside a pet taxi during the ride. My dog is a good one she can ride forever with no problem, she loves to ride.

Acepromazine (oral). It seems to be a little-known fact that most dogs vomit in the car not because of motion sickness, but because of anxiety.
