calm dog?  | | Hi all. I have a nervous dog and she's 1/2 lab and 1/2??? but we are making a trip and she gets all nervous and slobbers and breathes heavy. I have a wonderful friend on mylot, antiquelady who gives her dog beneadryl for itchy skin. I think i've had a vet tell me to give a benadryl to dogs who need to calm down. Does anybody have any suggestions???

quita88 (360) | 4 months ago | WOW, thanks for that advice on calm down!! I did get the vet to give me some "ace" for her today but will get to Pet Smart and order that calm down right away!! I have syringes all over the place. We used to have a farm and have all kinds and sizes here. I usually give pills with some cheese or if a liquid with a syringe like you say! Geez, didn't know they had such!!YOu are so great to let me know this! later, quita88

CatsandDogs (5134) | 4 months ago | I didn't know about it either till we were about to move from Texas to Arkansas and had to get all our pets up to date on their vaccines. I asked the vet on what to do and that's when he told me about "Calm Down" one for cats and another for dogs. He had his own store next to his vet office so I got it there. My poor cats mouths would foam up like crazy so that's when I got water to help them rinse it down. Good luck sweetie!! Glad to be of help!

I would give it a try a week or so in advance. Also ask your vet. Mine does not want my cats on benadryl, even though I read online that it was okay for the itchy skin.

quita88 (360) | 4 months ago | Thanks! Talked to my vet today and he said benadryl is ok as an anti histamine but like you say, he said you never know how an animal is going to respond individually.
BUT, he also said the same thing about the pills he gave my dog today!
another mylotter gave me some advice on a product she uses and that is something called, CALM DOWN found on PET SMART. And thank you catsanddogs for that advice!
By the by, I personally do not think I'd want my cats on benadryl, so look up PET SMART for the same calm dog, but think it's called calm cat. I am really not sure as I have not had time to look it up YET. I am getting to it!! But, thanks for responding! quita88

| | 4. ANTIQUELADY (11450) | 4 months ago | Hi Quita, i don't know if i told u this or not but casey's groomer told me about the benadryl & said it would not hurt them. hope your dog makes the trip well.

quita88 (360) | 4 months ago | You told me about the benadryl but not that your groomer gave you that advice. I went to the vet yesterday and he too said benadryl was ok but couldn't guarantee what the effects would be.
He said the same thing about the pills he gave me LOL So, I have pills.
Another mylotter, dogs and cats gave me the name of a product called calm dog that can be bought thru Pet Smart. I guess I'm going to experiment today with the pills cuz I have to go to town and for one stop only and see how 1 pill works and go from there. Thanks for the advice:)

| | 5. mrakobesie (754) | 4 months ago | My cats are very nervous when we take them anywhere, they freak out. I usually close down the back portion of the car and ride there with them. Once they are in the car and i'm next to them, i can open a carrier and let them out. They normally sit in the carrier anyway, but knowing that they can get out whenever they want helps them. I also use one huge carrier and put all three of them together, they are brothers and love each other, they freak out more if they don't know when the other brothers are and start meowing so they can hear each other and know that they are close and safe. I don't give them any medications to calm them down, we had bad experience in the past, when Baron got medication from the vet and got very sick from it, we refuse to give them anything now and just try to give them emotional support in this situations. They are nervous when i ride with them and carrier is opened, but not as much when they don't see me and are locked up.
