Safe, Mild Sedative Required

[hilaryo]

Thank you all for your replies and advice. I definitely won't get anything to sedate them now.

Thanks Rappie, I will speak to my vet and get some motion sickness tablets. It's going to be a long trip to Perth for them

I have got a new product arriving shortly from a homeopathic company,

I don't know the name of it yet,

it's a suppository that is for use with children who can't settle down (such as when they have a fever etc) - I will get more information when the product arrives of course....

Once I've trialled it for them I will be able to tell you if it works for "calming" dogs,

If it does, you might be able to give it a try,

Until then, when you travel your dog, put one of your own jumpers/t-shirt etc in with them - make sure you've worn the t-shirt/jumper for a few days & don't wash it (you mightn't like the smell but your dog will! )...

Safe travelling
