How to Reduce Your Pet’s Car Anxiety

3/6/2014

Question: My dog gets really nervous when he rides in the car, and often throws up. What can I do to keep this from happening?

Answer: Your dog might actually be getting car sick, or he may have anxiety about riding in the car. 
Try to ease your dog into the “car” experience.  You can start by getting in the car with your dog, but not starting it.  Sit in the car with your pet for a few minutes, and reward them if they are calm.  Try this a few times.  Next, get in the car with your dog, start the car, but do not go anywhere.  Again, reward your dog with praise!  Finally, drive a short distance, continuing to reward your pet while they are calm.  Little by little, increase the distance that you drive.  It helps to make riding in the car an enjoyable experience.  Go for a ride to the park or to visit a doggie friend! 

Try to make sure that not every trip in the car with your dog ends up with a visit to your vet clinic. 

If the vomiting still seems to be an issue, it may be car sickness or motion sickness.  To avoid a potential mess, it is best to withhold food from your dog at least 3-4 hours prior to going in the car.  There are medications that can be prescribed if this is the case. 

​Always contact your vet if you have concerns of questions.

It doesn't matter if you just bought a new car with a gorgeous paint job or just had your old car freshly painted, you need to protect it from the elements. Here are some tips on protecting your paint job.

It’s interesting to know that having a certified emotional support animal can give you the privilege of making it stay where even though it’s not a pet-friendly place, just like when you rent a place. I love my pet dog, Rocco, as he always follows me around and comforts me when I am down. If registering him as an emotional support is the only way to be with him, then I will start looking around for areas where I can register him in no time!

It’s basically just an enlarged clit, which is bigger than the penis. Hyenas also have no external vagina, so they invert the clit to have sex. They also give birth through it, where it can sometimes tear. It’s usually twins, and they will fight to the death when they are born.

Most people in lieu of adopting a pet will not adopt a starving child, or divert every disposable dollar to children’s charities. But, it makes a huge difference to the life of that one adopted animal to come to a loving home.
