Experienced this with Icon for short trips. He did indeed outgrow it. 🤢

Does your dog get car sick?

When I was a kid I could not look down while my parents were driving or I would get car sick for sure! I honestly do not know how kids these days can play their video games in the car, even to this day if I am in the back seat and trying to do things on my phone, I will get motion sickness quickly!

Dogs can and do also suffer from motion sickness. Of course, not all dogs, just like not all people are affected. It is more common with younger dogs than adult dogs, so if you have a puppy that is always car sick there is hope they may grow out of it! Most will outgrow it by they time they turn 1 years old.

If you know that your dog has issues with motion sickness, try to limit food intake too close to travel time & crack the window a little. They airflow can help reduce their nausea.

You can also speak with your veterinarian about medication options that may be suitable.

Original post from Countryside Veterinary Clinic

Heads up! You may see these green, brown, or black pod-like balls on the ground in your neighborhood at this time of the year. They are nuts from black walnut trees. The picture shows black walnuts in various sizes and stages of maturity and decay. Every part of a black walnut tree (nuts, shells, leaves, and wood) is highly toxic to dogs. The initial symptoms of black walnut poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite, followed by tremors, seizures, and jaundice. The toxins in black walnut trees can be fatal to dogs if not treated promptly. Do not attempt to use any home remedies if your dog has ingested black walnut. Time is of the essence--get your dog to a vet immediately. (More info in the comments.)
