Hmmm....that sounds like it might work! I've got the Children's Benadryl just in case Max got stung or had an allergic reaction to anything (like a scorpion)...maybe it would help him in the car. I don't want him knocked out, but it would be nice to have him be calmer on long trips. Thanks for the doseage and directions!
I am going to find the Quiet Moments, just to test it out though. I know Bendryl (diphenhydramine) makes me really sleepy and feeling drugged the next day; but dogs aren't the same as humans, so maybe it will affect him in a GOOD way!
Oops...Stella's Mom....how much does your dog weigh?
