Default what do you use to calm your dog on a long car trip?

I have heard about benadryl....sounds like it may or may not work for some dogs.

The vet has what they call composure chews (non Rx) which is supposed to have a calming effect.

They also have acepromazine which is an Rx and will semi sedate the dog.

Our dog just will not sit or lay down and pants as if she were in the heat. So I am looking to help her relax (and me too) on a 10 hour trip.

What have you done/used?
