Country Joe 1,411 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 My two boxes of Sealegs arrived today, will let you know how I get on, I have been told by the breeder, its the only thing that worked for him, half a tab,15 mins before a journey, obviously it wont be just up the road, I will take him to the beach which is 20 miles there and back, I have done this journey twice, with sickness each time.

skycat 6,172 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The problem with infrequent long journeys is that the amount of stress builds and builds the longer the dog is in the car, and if the journeys are not daily, the dog never becomes desensitised to the stress and fear. A minute up and down the road every day, feeding dog in vehicle, letting it ride up front on the passenger seat, are the best ways to densitise the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
