Years ago I had a bichon that didn't like the car and we gave him about 1/4 of a Gravol and that calmed him down enough that he would sleep. That was before we knew about Rescue Remedy. Now if I had a dog that was stressed, I would give RR and then a bit of Gravol as that would help to sleep on the trip especially if it were a long one. Our 2 shih tzus just sleep on my husband's lap on the way down for 3 days. We have their bed and stuff in the back but they spend most of the time on his lap. We do 8 hours a day and stop a couple of times so it isn't really a stressful trip, and we have the Red Roofs booked ahead so we always know where we are heading each day.
