Travel-Induced Anxiety Model

This model examines canine responses to standardized car travel, measuring indicators such as heart rate, cortisol levels, and stress-related behaviors to assess potential treatments for travel-associated anxiety. The model has been validated through studies demonstrating the anxiolytic effects of interventions like trazodone, dexmedetomidine oromucosal gel, and botanical supplements, providing a reliable framework for evaluating treatments aimed at alleviating travel-induced stress in canines.
