Is Zesty Paws calming bites ok to give a 6 month old lab dachshund mix while traveling? Will be in the car for 10+ hrs and she sometimes gets anxious and hyper on shorter rides. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! yes they are fine. I would recommend trying them out first on an experimental car ride to be sure they work well enough. Sometimes the over the counter calming treats don't work as well as we want them too. If the experimental trip fails then I would discuss sedatives with your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!
