A Thundershirt® swaddles a dog much like an infant is swaddled and can reduce anxiety. A pheromone calming collar can help lower anxiety (Adaptil®). Trazodone, gabapentin, and alprazolam are sometimes prescribed by veterinarians to reduce the anxiety that some dogs experience when traveling.
How much Dramamine can I give my 10 pound dog?
Dramamine will usually take 30 to 45 minutes to take effect, so it is best to administer your dog's dose before their travel or other events. You should generally not give Dramamine more than once in eight hours. Typically, veterinarians follow a dosing structure of about 2-4mg of Dramamine per pound of body weight.
