I have never been on a car ride with a dog/dogs for more than 7 hours....so I really cant give you any advice...If you are staying in Motels during your trip, I guess you have alreadyselected "pet friendly" ones....I would take any water that Harley is used to drinking, along...enough to last the car trip and a week or so after you arrive. Is Harley on meds when his IBS acts up?? Maybe if you were to start giving the meds a couple of days before the trip starts, his bowels wont get into such an uproar. I dont know..maybe something to calm his nerves before, during, and after the car ride? This is going to be so much fun for your and your best buddy! Good luck on your trip! Keep us posted! |
We've managed to keep him off medication... if he has an upset I usually just give him electrolytes to drink to keep him hydrated and he bounces back pretty fast. I was given an anti-anxiety supplement last month for him, but we tried it at dog class (where he is really anxious) and it didn't do much, so I'm going to try it, but I don't have much faith in it... I think that was a sales gimmic... lol
