Frenz, the holidays are here! For us, that means presents, family, and joy. For our frenz, it can mean scary plane flights, car rides, and travel jitters.
When we get motion sickness, they’ll get motion nervousness. A plane can be a claustrophobic, cramped space that’s new and uninviting for a pet. A car, while maybe familiar, can also be daunting, especially when there’s a long ride ahead.
Why would your frenz be scared of a plane or car?
Airplane
The airport can be an especially stressful place for your frenz because of the large crowds and loud noises. Getting on a plane can also increase feelings of stress as pets are usually cramped under the seat or put in the cargo hold. These new environments can feel isolating and nerve-racking. Loud engine sounds during and after takeoff can be very distracting and may remind your frenz of stressful sounds like fireworks.
Car
While your frenz can get used to your car, and most often even enjoy going for a ride with their head out the window, long road trips can be daunting and restless. Make sure to take frequent breaks to let your frenz go to the bathroom, eat a snack, and stretch their legs.
And what’s more, our CBD products are formulated to support calmness during travel! Check out our CBD Butter, made with real peanut butter, which is tasty and helpful. For consumable products, we recommend giving them to your frenz about 20-25 minutes before you start your engine or board your flight.
This product pairs with our Lick Mat, which is a distractive tactic with its interactive, sensory grooves, and can also promote calmness, as many pets find relaxation by licking.
The Calming Chews are bite-sized chews that should also be given 20-25 minutes before an event. They are bacon and beef-flavored for that extra deliciousness.
Our CBD Drops, which are flavorless, can be dropped straight into the mouth and can take effect in as early as 15-20 minutes.
