Sorry to hear your dog finds car travel stressful – it’s more common than you’d think!
Start by helping them feel more relaxed in a stationary car. Sit with them, use treats or toys, and speak in a calm, happy voice. You can try giving Calm Xtra Calming Drops around 20 minutes before to support a more settled mood.
If your dog drools or seems unsettled while moving, some owners find Poor Traveller homeopathic tablets or Travel Herbal Tincture useful during travel. It's also a good idea to avoid feeding your dog in the 2–3 hours before a journey.
Keep trips very short at first, and make sure they end somewhere enjoyable (like the park or a favourite walk), so your dog builds positive associations with the car.
If your dog seems fearful due to a past bad experience, Sanper 2 is a gentle, natural option that some owners like to use for emotional support.
Every dog is different – feel free to tell us more about your situation and we’ll help you find the best approach.
