How I Avoided My Dog from Being Horribly Injured and Eliminated Car Anxiety in Less Than 1 Hour...
Without unsafe medications, travel crates, expensive visits at the vet, or time-consuming exercises

Every trip, I watch as my dog's excitement turns to anxiety.
Every trip, I reach for the calming treats and their favorite toy, hoping this time will be different…
And then I wait…
I wait until the calm sets in, hoping for a peaceful journey ahead…
But by that time, we’re already on the road, and their anxiety has only grown.
So I drive there and think.
I think about how it's unfair our adventures are overshadowed by my dog's travel anxiety.
Ever since we adopted Bella, our family trips have become a source of stress.
I had to stop bringing Bella on our family outings.
We used to pack the car with excitement, but now we leave her behind.
I used to enjoy walks in the park and beach trips with Bella running alongside...
Yet today, just the thought of putting her through the stress of a car ride makes me anxious.
And I just love her so much.. she's my baby..
It was so heart-wrenching I avoided planning trips altogether.
Driving to the vet feels like preparing for a long, arduous journey...
And the worst thing...
When we first welcomed Bella into our home, we dreamed of countless adventures together.
You know, those carefree days exploring new trails, visiting friends, and discovering hidden gems.
When our weekends and holidays were ours to fill with joyous escapades.
Just us and Bella.
Yet...
My Dog's Travel Anxiety Killed This Dream On The Spot
My Dog's Travel Anxiety Killed This Dream On The Spot
Not so long ago, my husband George and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary.
We wanted to make a roadtrip across the country.
We wanted to see the national parks, camp under the stars, and explore small towns along the way.
We’d packed snacks, created playlists, and imagined walking around the scenic routes of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.
However...we had to cancel because of my dog Bella.
See, I didn’t want our trip to stop every 5 minutes trying to soothe an anxious dog. I knew Bella’s travel anxiety could be a problem, so I started with short drives around the neighborhood in preparation.
Maybe those drives were too stressful for her…
But one day, I noticed Bella cowering in a corner from the moment I walked to my car.
Her fear was unbearable.
I tried everything under the sun to ease her anxiety. I was desperate. I bought calming collars, tried soothing sprays, and even considered sedatives prescribed by a vet.
And even though she calmed down slightly at home… The anxiety returned the moment we approached the car. So we canceled the trip. I was heartbroken.
George seeing my low spirits, decided to take the matter into his hands.
One evening, when we were in bed, he told me about his friend who knew this vet in Chicago.
Dr. Jennifer Cole was the best vet consultants in the country, and maybe she could help.
I agreed to go, but deep down, I was afraid my only option would result in expensive vet bills.
''Avoid Prescription Medication At All Costs''
These were the exact words Dr. Cole told us.
What a relief!
She assured me there was a way to avoid Bella’s travel anxiety without resorting to heavy medications, promising a noticeable improvement within just a few hours.
''Of course, dogs are all different, and I can't promise universal results... But over the last decade, 3,000 pet owners have told us how their pets have transformed from anxious travelers to calm companions on the road.''
For The First Time In a Long Time, I Felt Hopeful.
"Let me show you something," Dr. Cole continued.
He opened his closet and pulled out a weird-looking fluffy bed.
"I’ll explain what makes this car bed not just a bed, but a haven for your pet in a moment.
However, first, you must understand why your pet experiences anxiety in the car.
Over 87% of dog owners overlook the importance of addressing the root cause, opting instead for quick fixes that don't solve the underlying issue.
I’m different. I believe in providing not just a product, but a solution that considers your pet's instinctual needs and behaviors.
They're not just animals; they're family. Your dog looks to you for comfort and security, much like a child would. So, let’s take a look.''
It turns out the real reason of your dog's travel discomfort stems from a lack of environmental stability.
Their primal instinctual is a search for safety.
Stability for dogs is like cartilage for humans: a fundamental component of comfort and security.
Without it, the absence of a stable, reassuring environment can lead to anxiety and stress for your dog.
When this stability is compromised, especially in moving vehicles, your dog may feel uneasy or anxious. Some dogs show it more than others.
Additionally, a lack of comforting stimuli can intensify your dog's stress, leading to health issues or even worse.
Your dog needs a sense of security to alleviate anxiety because it mimics the comfort of being in a familiar environment.
However, we both know... it's challenging to provide constant reassurance while driving.
That's why Dr. Cole developed a product that offers the comfort of a mother's presence, with materials that mimic mother's fur, soothing and reassuring your pet…
It will allow your pet to feel secure and comforted on the go, just as if they were nestled against their mother.
We finalized the product design just recently, in collaboration with a dedicated team at a US-based startup called Pelsbarn.
They call it Pelsbarn Protecting Car Bed.
The secret to the breakthrough calming Pelsbarn Protecting Car Bed lies in its unique combination of the most effective elements for traveling safe & comfy with your dog:
1. Material that Mimics Mother's Fur. This material is specifically chosen to replicate the comfort and security a puppy feels when close to its mother, effectively reducing anxiety and stress.
2. Built-in Comforting Features. The bed includes an uplifted bolster that simulate the gentle pressure pets feel when they are held or cuddled, encouraging a sense of calm and safety.
3. Triple Safety straps: the bed is equipped with triple safety straps and includes a safety seat belt. This ensures your pet stays safe and secure, providing peace of mind for you and comfort for your pet during travels.
This turns anxious trips into serene journeys, replacing your pet's anxiety with tranquility and comfort.
The synergy of these three will allow your furry friend to enjoy car rides, engage in outdoor activities (roadtrips!), and feel secure and calm during travel, transforming every journey into a peace of mind experience.
What’s more, the Pelsbarn Protecting Car Bed is extremely easy to set up. All you do is slide the bed in your car, secure it with the safety straps and included seat belt, and you’re ready to go. Start your engine, and in no time, witness your pet enjoying their tranquil sanctuary.
I got 2 of them - 1 for each of my dogs.
Now, I didn't expect quick results. It took years for our pet’s travel anxiety to reach its peak.
I knew it would take at least a few months to regain subtle signs of comfort after several uses.
However, to my surprise
Months of Anxiety, Stress, and Travel Avoidance, Gone in Less Than a Few Trips
I can't express the relief I felt the first time we saw our dog jumping into the calming Pelsbarn Protecting car bed.
And by just a few trips, our dog had transformed significantly.
She could finally relax in the car, looking out the window with calm curiosity. No more walking!
The restlessness during rides was no longer an issue.
And the best of all...she could finally enjoy the journeys, resting peacefully by our side!
We're back to planning our road trip accross the country.
And we're always the first to suggest a weekend getaway with friends and their dogs.
It feels like this car bed has reversed our pet's fear of travel by years.
I've recommended it to all my pet-loving friends.
And I am sharing this with you.
Because
It's like providing your pet with their own soothing sanctuary, a personal comfort zone, and safety nest all in one, without the endless search for solutions.
You don’t have to spend a fortune on pet therapists and countless hours trying to soothe your anxious pet...
Instead, every time I notice even a hint of unease in our dog before a drive…
We place her in the Pelsbarn Car Bed, embark on our journey, and the anxiety dissipates…
Within minutes of hitting the road, she's settled and serene, letting us focus on the trip ahead.
If it weren’t for this car bed, we might have had to give up on our dream of adventurous travels with our pet.
And we all know how stressful that can be…
The worry of leaving them behind…
The guilt of not including them in our family outings…
And I haven’t even started on the cost of pet sitting.
Instead, we're planning a cross-country road trip for the summer.
And rest assured, the Pelsbarn Car Bed is the first item on our packing list.
Because this car bed has transformed our travels.
I wake up excited for each new adventure.
We have more energy for exploring, knowing our pet is as happy on the road as we are.
And our family outings have become the enriching experiences we always dreamed they'd be!
We can travel for hours! No stress!
That's why I can’t recommend the Pelsbarn Protecting Car Bed enough. It changes pet travel from a challenge to a joy.
