It never occurred to me that dogs could become seasick, but then I've never been at sea with a dog.
Some of the dogs that sailed with Sir Earnest Shackleton on board Endurance were treated for seasickness, and with what appears to be the same bottle of patent remedy that any other member of crew would have used.
Here's a dog having a healthy glug of remedy poured into it and not appearing to like the taste.
If only the dog had known it would have to eat seal blubber for the next 9 months it might have asked for some of the remedy to be saved to wash away the irony taste.*
* Although I expect dogs might actually like the irony, gamey flavour of seal meat.
