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?

btk
Our vet prescibes Valium. one mg every 4 hours. we have tried everything else. This works! She is not very groggy just calm, which makes the 13 hours in the car more pleasant. good luck!
