Dramamine for dogs

I thought we discussed this before but I couldn't find the thread(s).

OK, unless my dog is 1/2 way out of the window of the truck (head, thorax and both front legs), she gets motion sickness. Not a problem in the summer as she hangs out the window but I need to drive about 5 hours starting from the Pittsburgh area, through Buffalo NY and on to Rochester NY area... in January. The windows won't be open.

I took her into town today. It's about 15-20 miles each way. She puked several times. Note to self, clean the truck better tomorrow.

Can you give a 40# dog Dramamine?

Probably:

It came up in Google Suggest pretty high:

I've used Benadryl in my dogs and they are similar.

You could get a sedative from your vet to just knock out, or partially knock out your pooch until you get where you're going...

Oh sure looking for an excuse so you can catch her



Our Yellow Lab is that way. But she can go about an hour without puking. But I won't even take her ten minutes down the road because she wines so much.

Can you give a 40# dog Dramamine?

Yes. We have also used benadryl and take one or two of the dogs along almost everywhere we go. They travel to Florida and the Carolinas all the time. Our biggest problem with the puking has been if they eat too much snacks while traveling.
