Gentle calm for dogs on the move—no drugs, no drama.
At The Dermatologist’s Dog, we believe calm should come from care, not chemicals. Cruise & Snooze Calming Wipes are designed for dogs who feel uneasy during car rides, fireworks, travel days, vet visits, or changes in routine. These wipes offer a simple, soothing ritual using time-honored botanicals—without synthetics, without prescription sedatives, and without medicating your dog.
This is not about knocking your dog out. It’s about helping their nervous system settle naturally.
What Makes Cruise & Snooze Different
- No synthetic fragrances
- No prescription or OTC sedatives
- No alcohol, parabens, or harsh preservatives
- Just gentle, plant-based relaxation in a convenient wipe
Each wipe is lightly infused and designed for topical use. You simply wipe onto your dog’s breastbone (the chest area) 10–20 minutes before travel or a stressful event, allowing calming aromatics and botanical extracts to work gradually and gently.
How It Works
Dogs experience stress through both scent and skin sensation. Cruise & Snooze uses a minimalist formulation that supports relaxation through aromatherapeutic and botanical pathways, not pharmacologic sedation.
Lavender and valerian root have a long history of traditional use for calming and sleep support. Clinical studies in humans show that these ingredients are associated with reduced anxiety, improved relaxation, and better sleep quality, with effects described as mild to moderate compared with classical hypnotic drugs . While not studied as a medicated veterinary product, their long-standing use supports their role in gentle stress reduction rather than forced sedation.
This makes Cruise & Snooze ideal for dogs who need help taking the edge off—without dulling their personality or awareness.
Key Ingredients & Why They Matter
Purified Water
A clean, gentle base that allows even distribution of botanical ingredients without irritation.
Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
Known for its calming aroma, lavender has been shown to help reduce anxiety and support relaxation and sleep quality . In topical, diluted form, it offers soothing sensory input without overwhelming sensitive canine noses.
Valerian Root Extract (Valeriana officinalis)
Traditionally used as a natural sedative and calming botanical. Clinical evidence supports its role in improving relaxation, sleep onset, and overall sleep quality, with moderate effects compared to pharmaceutical sedatives . In Cruise & Snooze, valerian supports calm without inducing lethargy.

How to Use
- Gently wipe your dog’s breastbone or chest area

A Final Derm Note
Calm should feel safe. Cruise & Snooze Calming Wipes are meant for situational stress support, not to replace veterinary care for severe anxiety. Because there are no drugs or synthetic sedatives, they can be used thoughtfully and occasionally as part of a holistic calming plan.
Because a peaceful journey isn’t about sedation—it’s about trust, comfort, and care.
