Hi all,
I have searched the forums for info and advice on how to best make a 2 day car trip the most pleasant (as it can be!) trip possible for my two boys....
They are 2 and 3 and have not had much experience with the car...
I don't drive and we won't have access to a car until DBF comes back the evening before the big drive so I can't desensitize them to the car in that time..( I can possibly sneak in one small trip but doubt this will help)
I have talked to my vet and others and they recommended either Gravol or Benadryl (children's) before each day's travel..
Does anyone have any experience with using these to calm kitties while travelling? I was also going to pick up some Rescue Remedy and use that as well..
My questions are how did you find using Gravol or Benadryl and/or Rescue Remedy and what is the best way to administer it? Pills in a treat or liquid?
And should I get the spray Rescue Remedy and spray it around the truck cab before we drive each day? I have no access to Feliway unfortunately as they don't sell it here...
Any other tips MUCH appreciated!
Cheers!
Cin
