The holidays can be a stressful time to travel — especially when you’re bringing along your pets! Whether you’re headed by car, plane, or train, here are some helpful LICKS tips on how our ZEN Calming Aid can support your pet during the journey and the best ways to use it for a calmer trip.

Tip # 1- Pack extra ZEN packets!

Don’t forget this step! When traveling, there are many times when our ZEN packets will come in handy. Having them on hand at all times is key to a successful travel day! Pack enough for 4-6 packets per day depending on the size of your pet or how many you have. Note that larger dogs may require 1-2 packets and remember that it is always safe to increase their dosage in times of need!

Tip # 2- Eat ahead of time and administer on an empty stomach for best results!

For example, if you are traveling in the morning, feed your dog or cat first thing in the morning, before heading to the airport or loading into the car. Our ZEN packets work best on an empty stomach, so waiting to administer until a couple hours after they eat will provide best results. Then, give your pet 1-2 packets about 30-40 minutes before you board the flight or hit the road. This should help to calm your pet for 4-6 hours for a smooth ride!

Tip # 3- It is safe to increase the dosage as needed!

Our ZEN is made from 100% all-natural ingredients, meaning there is no possible way to overdose or have adverse effects from our products! So, if you have an anxious traveler, it is safe to give them 2 packets at once if they normally take 1. You can then repeat the process as needed every 4-6hours.
