My dog gets nervous and pants in the car. What helps with anxiety?

Question

I'm wanting to go to my families and its a 2 to 21/2 hour drive, I have a 5yr. old male Staffordshire pitbull I need to take him on our little road trip but he's very nervous and pants the whole time he's in a car so my question is can I give him some kind of angxity medicine to help him have a more comfortable ride for 2 hours?

I would recommend trying NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin. I have had several clients use this product, which can be found online or at your local PetCo, and it has worked great for these dogs. I would also recommend using the Adaptil collar to see if this helps calm Dozer. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
