Pheremones[totally wrong spelling] for travel!

[divegirl]

Hi, My vet has just offered me some of the above....not gonna try to spell it again, to help calm my Dane puppy on her journey to her new home...only two more sleeps [I can't wait]!!!!! Apparently this will mimic a smell given off by mum and works to calm dogs of any age. Having never travelled any distance with any of my dogs I just wanted to make the experience as stress free as possible for her. Any one ever used anything like this?

Hi we have danes I hope you have fun with yours!Im not sure what they do but I found taking a blanket from where you got the dog from with familiar smells on is really helpful and keeps the dog fairly settled.

Oh believe me....we're all set! Blankets that smell of my dogs....blankets that smell of her old home.....
Water....check
Bowl.....check
Towels....check [just incase she's sick....or worse!!!!!]
Vodka.....for me when I get home.....check....lol

Just wondered if the pheremones might help....they're free as well!!!!

Only two sleeps now!!!!
Hope all goes well with the journey home.
Please update us when you get back home with the puppy, that is, unless you have had a little too much vodka lol.
Safe journey.

Find out from where you are getting her whether she has done much (or any) travelling. Apart from a bit of car sickness if she is not used to travelling, I wouldn't think there will be much of a problem. Ensure someone can travel in the back with her if possible to keep her steady and stop her from trying to jump around. Keep her on a lead so you have something to hold on to, particularly for when you arrive at your home and open the car door. She maybe either reluctant to get out, or the opposite, and leap out before you are prepared, but if she is on a lead you have half a prayer!

Good luck and hope you can sleep.
