Moving from Michigan to California with a whippet. Dog was raised in house with fenced in backyard and another whippet of about the same age.

Any vet can give you a mild sedative for the dog. It is almost like Valium for us. We have to give it to our dog when he travels or if there are thunder storms. It is pretty common to get a prescription. Most vets give it to any animal that flies. Just a pill pop in in something they will eat and its gone.

I would definitely speak to a vet but medicine seems like the best way to go. Try to research a good vet in the area you will be travelling in just in case your dog has a bad reaction from the drugs too. The last thing you need on holidays is doggie stress. Good Luck!

I even have experienced canines that have been captivated with issues like chasing their tails to the factor of easily chewing off the tip, or severe scratching to the factor of injury. I even have seen canines that would desire to chew on rocks until eventually their the teeth have been worn down, or extreme separation stress.those are substantial issues and not a canines with a certaincontinual. If the canines is easily fixated and you won't be able to redirect them via play or instructions then that's neurotic. I even have seen very few that mandatory drugs although i do unlike drugging canines. i think of with a lot of persistence and time, you could help those men have a greater relaxing existence.

There's a good chance that your dog will need to be drugged so that he does not harm himself. I don't know if you are flying or driving, and that will play a part.
Discussing options with your vet is your best bet. I am not a fan of medicating dogs needlessly but this is one of those situations that can really scare a dog and they may hurt themselves trying to escape or overly stress themselves.

Sedations like Ace. Acepromazine takes the edge off during stressful times.

We get ACE from our vet for July 4th and Jan 1. It works well. If you are flying the dog out you must sedate the dog, they fly with the cargo and the changes in air pressure will make them extremely uncomfortable.

Ask your vet for rx for valium. Great anti-anxiety drug, and lasts about twice as long as lorazepam or alprazolam.
