Going to the beach in a couple weeks and going to take her with us. She wants to go everywhere we go but traveling just a short distance really stresses her out. Any tips on what to do about this? Couple people have told me Benadryl??? If so, how much? She only weighs like 6 pounds. Thanks.

How long will this keep her calm/asleep? Takes us about 6 hrs to get there.

Ours calms down once we get on the interstate and moving for a while. Stop and go In Town gets her anxious.

I would probably stick TWO dosings in my pocket. That way, you won’t be fully aware of all the bedlam until everybody else unpacks the car.

Add in a "warm" hot water bottle and a small wind up clock(sounds like mom's heartbeat). No problems then.

Not for traveling, but for thunder we give our golden some calming chews. They work great. Take about 20-30 minutes to start working

Talk to your vet about what he/she recommends for the situation. I will say, however, that all our dogs settle down once we are on the interstate and not in the stop and go traffic. So, when you say she gets stressed just on short trips, are you always in stop and go type of traffic or travelling on the interstate or highway?

Normally I would recommend Benadryl. But for a 6 pound pup, I wouldn't. I'd try a carrier. Like folks said it's usually the stop and go and turning. It feels weird to a dog, I've seen some get car sick. They'll also feed off y'all's nervous energy. If you can wear the dog out before loading up, it should also help some.

Thanks for the help guys. You wouldn’t think she would want to go so bad because of how nervous she gets. But she runs straight to the car every time she goes out and is the first one in when the door is open. It’s strange. All of her trips have been short ones. Mostly stop and go. This will be her first long trip. I have found that letting her hang her head out the window seems to help but I can’t do that for 6 hours

I think it’s 1mg/pound. So she should get 6mg. A half a tab would be 12.5mg. I’d go with liquid Benadryl to give the correct dose. If that was what you planned on doing.

If it tends to get motion sickness I'd try to have it in a place where it can see out a window.

I was really expecting the responses on this thread to go a different direction.
