Johnsons Vet Travel Capsules for Dogs

Second time buying these.This time my extremely anxious dog who is normally sick after about 20 mins or less in a car managed to go a whole over 2 hour drive with a couple of breaks in between and back with zero sickness which I think was down to these tablets! He had to take 4x due to his size and I just think they worked perfectly. It didn’t stop the anxiousness of travelling but he wasn’t sick which is a big result!

We have a 15 week old Yorkipoo, that had very bad travel sickness. 10 mins in a car and she would vomit every time. We tried allowing air to circulate, winding the windows down, full stomach, empty stomach, riding upfront, back seat, rear of car, medication from the vet, propping her upfront so she can see out of the front of the car, gentle soothing music, playing with a toy, everything failed.By all rights, these tablets shouldn't be very effective. The main active ingredient is Zingiber Officianale or more commonly know as Ginger root. Ginger does settle the stomach however, and they do work for my little pup.I think a combination of factors have taken place here for them to become effective. Firstly, the puppy has not fully developed, and it takes time for the inner ear and the brain to rewire so that the effects of movement in the car do not cause nausea. The nausea is reduced by these tablets, and also it is vitally important that the dog isn't getting anxious about going in the vehicle and going on a journey. If every trip induces sickness, then obviously they will soon associate the car as a bad thing and become even more anxious.Therefore lots of small journeys are needed leading up to bigger trips with a reward at the end of every journey like a nice walk, throwing a toy etc.We also feed her supplementary amounts of crystallized ginger which boosts blood sugar levels slightly, and ensure she is distracted with a toy in the car when travelling with lots of praise and stroking to offer reassurances. I'll keep her on these for any journey over 10 minutes and the ingredients are fairly innocuous and bland so they won't cause any nasty side effects.

Have used this a few times now with my cavapoos, who couldn’t do a car journey without being sick. Since using they have been ok, A bit sleepy the first time used it, but ok with it now. Tend to feed them wait a couple of hours then give 30-60mins before journey. Much less expensive option than some other ones.

My little dog was still sick once but she did seem calmer than before.

I could cry... ive tried it all and this has been the ONLY thing that has helped my 4 month old puppy. I couldn't even travel 20 min without him being sick.. we just got back from a trip in Wales where we're where travelling 1, 2.5, 3 hour journeys and not ONCE was he sick!!! No drooling or anything. He was incredibly relaxed and even slept alot of of. I am so grateful xx thank you and will be buying again xxx

my dog was still sick with this tablets on a short journey

I've not used yet till the 13th june

I have a one year old rescue dog that developed car sickness. Initially he didn't seem to have any problems, but once it happened it would get worse and worse every trip until the point when he would immediately start dribbling after getting into the car. We tried to skip breakfasts or wait for a long time after breakfast,, opening windows and all sorts of things but he seemed to continue to get worse. The weird thing is that he only ever gets sick on the way somewhere and not on the way back (even though he has treats on every wlaks, so its nto the matter of having empty stomach), so this must be somehow related to him getting excited or anxious.We only tried once those pills and while he still puked (twice) it felt less intense as it was only part of his breakfast and he was much calmer in the car and visibly felt better. He wasn't just flat on the seat as he used to but he perked up and watched the world through the window. Next time we will try to combine it with skipping breakfast and see if that brings better results. I also think this will work increasingly better overtime as he realises it is not that bad with the pills.He is over 20kg so had to have 4 pills. He just gobbled them up with no problems.
