- Consult your vet first: Only use prescribed or approved calming aids, never self-medicate your pet.
- Alternatives: Try pheromone sprays, anxiety wraps, or natural chews that you’ve tested at home before travel.
- Avoid sedatives unless absolutely necessary: Many airlines won’t accept sedated pets due to safety risks during flight.
