The American Kennel Club says dogs should always be safely restrained in a moving vehicle, in a crate or with a car harness attached to a seat belt. It suggests the middle of the back seat, where a dog is more likely to face forward, and introducing the setup during training, before any real trips.
A booster seat adds a soft, raised spot with sides. Add a blanket or toy that smells of home and keep one special toy for car trips only.
Car sickness is most common in puppies, according to the AKC, and many dogs grow out of it. See your vet if your dog vomits on most trips or panics. They can advise on motion sickness and anti-anxiety medication.
