Poor love x Maybe you could try just sitting in the car with him , no engine on , just sitting and maybe a treat ? Then progress to giving him his meal in the car , again no engine noise until he feels comfortable. Then gradually with the engine on , move a few yards and so on . I`m probably preaching to the converted, but hope it may help xxx

Is the new car an electric one? I’ve read that children in the back can get nauseas when driving due to the smooth and very fast acceleration. Perhaps dogs also?

Sneller wagenziek in elektrische auto: 'Rustig optrekken voorkomt spugen'
Tent mee, gevulde koelbox mee en kotszakjes mee. Dit weekend begint voor de regio midden de zomervakantie, heel wat families zullen weer met de auto naar het zuiden afdalen over de Route du Soleil. En dat betekent heel wat misselijke kinderen op de achterbank, vooral bij gezinnen met een...

No, but an it is a very smooth ride and it has a clear roof which may not help him. We are going to try the blind next time.
Sorry should of said its an automatic car, never had one before.

Iver had travel sickness. You can get stuff from the vets to help. We made sure Iver couldn't see out as it seemed to be a trigger and didn't feed at least an hour before traveling. He got better with time and matured. It maybe just a case of letting your boy get used to the new car.

We always put the back windows down a bit else Maxx whines. I think he feels sick without the fresh air - perhaps try that? It get chilly in winter though

No we don't feed them before coming back from France. Never had this problem before.
I think we will try this. Thanks Sarah
I had similar issues with Neo when he was younger, like @SwampDonkey , we found he was much better when he couldn’t see everything whizzing past around him. I’ve now got sun shades fitted on all the windows at the back, you can still see out for manoeuvring but it’s enough that we haven’t had any more incidents since. Hope you find something that helps

I managed to get some tablets for Fred. I picked them up from our French vet. They are called Nozevet and they worked. We had blocked out the
windows next to Fred, but that didn't work. So we put him in the middle seat between Annie and me, with the tablets he was fine at last. He didn't sleep like Annie but laid down. For 20 tablets it was 12 euros which is £10.29 and will do a number of journeys to France. Happy bunny
