My dog gets very car sick in like the first 5 minutes that Im driving all the way until the end. Ive tried many multiple ways to take him in cars but nothing works. The problem is we have a road trip coming up soon, I have no choice but to drive with him but its at least a 12 hour drive. I feel terrible, my question is does anyone know of a good over the counter medication to give him? Ive seen both formulas for dogs and ones for humans but I dont know the dosages. He's about 15 lbs. Halp.

Something just to make the nausea go away

Do you own a Saturn car?
Chemicals and odors are implanted into many housewife cars, even jeeps, that create EXTREME nausea and mental distraction.
No, I'm not sure why. I just know your dog might not be carsick, but might be sick from the chemicals they slather on the leather and seats. They make me VERY sick, two minutes and I'm vomiting.
Perfume is a weapon now, didn't you know?

I don't. My previous car was a mazda and the now it's a subaru. I don't think I had perfume on around him but I'll make a mental note for sure

I've also taken him in other friends cars and still vomiting.

OK then it's carsickness if you don't detect any car odors. There's always Dramamine, but it's up to you to research if that's even safe to give to a dog, it can have you really fucking dead inside and laying down twitching for hours. I hate the shit. It's extremely uncomfortable, but it does suppress vomit effectively, which is a bad thing because if your body wants to eject poison, it can't.
Check it out and ask a vet, or get a dog door and drop feeder/waterer and leave him at home.
There's no completely safe otc carsickness med for a dog because there is no otc carsickness medicine for a dog, only humans.
Suck it up, go to your vet, and ask for a cerenia prescription.
