Too many pets suffer from anxiety and some get car sick. So the question what can I give my dog to help with anxiety on car trips, this also applies to cats is one that a number of pet owners need to find an answer for.

Drugs are, or at least should be, the last resort, as they can cause health problems in pets ‘way’ beyond the levels of anxiety and car sickness.

To start with you can ‘desensitize’ him or her to a automobile trip.

• You can start out with just getting into the car, sitting there for a few minutes and then get out. Make sure your reward your pet after you’re are done.
• Next do the same, but this time start it up and even move up and down your driveway.
• Then do a drive around the block, the area around your home, etc.
• Do this over a few weeks or maybe even months. When done consistently this will help your pet and you will have a much calmer pet relaxed, pet.

Many pet owners have found that simple things like ginger (as in the ginger snaps you find at your local store) are very helpful with calming down your pets stomach. Puppy’s and kittens tend to get motion sickness in the first 3 – 6 months of their lives, but often outgrow it.

You may find that a "wrap" is good in calming your pet and relieving their anxiety.
