Answer

hi trudy
I have recommend DAP for travel anxious dogs. It is a pheromone that helps to calm anxious dogs. It comes in a spray form that you can spray on her collar or a bandana before traveling. I used this successfully in a chihuahuah that hated riding. They would spray the bed in her crate before riding and it did help.

here is a link about DAP

it can be bought online and in some pet stores.

Hope this helps some.
