We are moving and have a long drive ahead of us. Honey get very anxious and whiny in the car. What can I give her to keep her calm and make the drive bearable?

Hi there. You can try a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure just before the trip, along with a DAP pheromone collar. If she gets extremely anxious and you think this might not be enough, I would suggest talking to your veterinarian about prescription anti-anxiety medication such as trazodone or clonazpam.

It depends on what your concerns are - if your puppy rides well in the car, you shouldn't need to give her anything. If she gets anxious or has trouble with motion sickness, your vet can prescribe medication for these issues that is safe and effective. Other options would include a DAP pheromone collar, or a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure.
