Jaxx is super cute! I'm sorry to hear that he's not feeling well. While riding in the car can cause motion sickness and vomiting in some dogs, vomiting six times is cause for concern, especially in a young puppy. Other potential causes for Jaxx's vomiting include an infection, parasites and eating something that has upset his stomach or caused a blockage. Given the number of times he has vomited, I would recommend that you take Jaxx to your veterinarian today. They may recommend x-rays to rule out an intestinal obstruction
