My baby (Maltipoo) will be 2 on 2/19/20 I love her so much but I can’t take her anywhere with me because of her becoming cat sick, I hate that, I work during the week and when I’m home in the evenings and weekend I don’t want to leave her, I want her to go with me, and I’ve tried so many different things but I’m sure there is a few suggestions out there that I’ve not been made aware of!!! I will give her Dramamine but I was hoping to avoid that of possible, I feel it makes me think I’m drugging my baby.... ANY IDEAS

Talk to your vet, as there are a couple of medications that can help with car sickness. Also, working with a positive methods based trainer on a counter-conditiong/desensitization program can help.

I cannot remember where I read it or where it came from, but I read that getting a "booster" for small dogs so they can see outside the car can help. You can apparently buy little baskets that are raised high enough so small dogs can sit in them and look out. I have no idea if this actually works, but it's a harmless hack to try.

If tricks like that don't work, then you should speak to your vet about medication.
