Pet Remedy Natural Calming Spray & Wipes

As we have mentioned before, Lilly can be a bit of a whinge-bag in the car.  When we are moving at speed on the motorway she doesn't make much noise, she watches the world going by and sometimes falls asleep, but on B roads and roads with traffic lights she can be a bit of a pain, and she gets a bit stressy.

I think it has to be something to do with her Whippet genes because she just loves speed!

With her reactions in mind taking her on trips can take a toll on her....and our nerves. Knowing all this, and knowing we had a 5-6 hour trip to Great Yarmouth in November, where a good 3 hours of the journey were B roads, meant we had to investigate calming measures.

Pet Remedy Natural Calming Spray

Muddy Madam isn't keen on dosing Lilly up with prescription medications, so the hunt  was on for a more 'natural' way of calming her down. Luckily when we went to a pet trade show there was a Pet Remedy stand, and the gentleman on it was so convinced that this product would do the trick, he gave us a couple of wipes and a mini bottle of the spray to test.

We should have tried it out before we went, but we never got the chance, so on the morning we loaded up the car, popped Lilly in the back, grabbed the wipe and followed the instructions to wipe it around her muzzle, under chin, on her chest and across where she was sitting.

We headed to pick up the other passenger, Muddy Madam's Mum. Lilly sometimes stays with her Nana, so the trip is pretty normal - lots of traffic lights, stopping and starting and plenty of whingeing.

What a revelation!  With the calming wipes deployed not one single whinge all the way to Mum's, and there was none until about an hour from the destination, and all we did was spritz the original wipe, which had dried out, with the spray and repeat the muzzle wiping process.

Again all was good, and the best thing was that when we arrived she jumped out of the car to explore with no after-effects.

It was exactly the same on the return journey, so judging by this success, Lilly may be coming on more trips from now on.
