Please recommend a safe sedatibe for my dog. We need to transfer him via car but he's quite aggressive. Thanks.

Benadryl can work but for aggressive dogs most likely not. I would recommend contacting your veterinarian to see if you can get a one time dose of a sedative so that the veterinarian can safely examine him. We allow for a one time single dose of a sedative in order to facilitate examination of aggressive / fearful dogs. I hope this helps!
