Hi everyone, I have a 3-month-old little Shiba puppy and she gets car sick. Has anyone else dealt with this before? Does it usually get better with time or will she grow out of it?

    Hi there,
    I had this same problem with my dog when he was a puppy, but he’s grown out of it now. You can find some advice on this page which talks about this issue.
    Have a good day,

    Hi, This is a fairly common issue with puppies: their inner ear and stress management aren't fully developed yet, so many get car sick when they're young, but it usually improves with time. The best approach is to build it up gradually with short journeys (not necessarily to the vet, so as not to stress her out) and try to associate the car with something positive. It's also best to avoid feeding her just before a trip. However, if she is being sick a lot, drooling excessively, or remains very anxious even on short journeys, don't hesitate to speak to your vet. Have a nice day, Maëlla
