A: The best approach to the car sick problem is to ride more often, preferably short trips at first and steadily increasing the duration. Of products to use the most reliable would be acepromazine or cerenia which would come from your vet. There are lots of homeopathic remedies, their effectiveness varies considerably from pet to pet so all you can do is pick one and try it.
