Common conclusions

Your dog doesn't show any symptoms of motion sickness.

Your dog shows few common symptoms of motion sickness. Your dog may have a mild motion sickness that can be overcome by getting the dog used to the rides. Start by just sitting in the car with your dog for a few minutes and not driving anywhere. When your dog is successful with that, try going for a ride of fewer than 5 minutes, and gradually extend the length of the trip as your dog becomes used to the idea of car rides being safe and even fun. But if your dog exhibits vomiting or shaking during rides medication may be needed. Cerenia (maropitant) is the only FDA-approved prescription medication for vomiting due to motion sickness in dogs.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
