No Tranquilizers Please

No Tranqulizers?: Some reasons for this include: 1) Tranquilizer drugs decrease respiratory function, and breathing difficulties may occur. 2) Adverse drug reactions may occur due to drug sensitivity. A pet previously given tranquilizers is more likely to develop health problems en route - where the animal isn't constantily being monitored. 3) An animal's natural ability to balance and maintain equilibrium is altered under sedation. When the kennel is moved, the sedated pet may not be able to brace and prevent injury. 4) Most, if not all, common tranquilizer drugs have the effect of lowering the blood pressure which is something that naturally occurs at high altitudes. The combination of altitude and drugs is potentially fatal in the old, chronically sick, or stressed pet. 5) Pre-flight conditioning to the flight/travel container will markedly reduce anxiety, apprehension, and fear levels thus making the pet's flight much more comfortable. Our experts have ideas on how to help condition your pet to transit. 6) The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) strongly discourages the usage of tranquilizers or sedatives for scheduled airline animal transportation. Your pet's welfare is important to everyone at Happy at Home Pet Care. Don't endanger their safety and health with unnecessary drugs as you travel or relocate. Pet Transportation Main Page |
