Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Ark Naturals Happy Traveler used for?
Ans: Happy Traveler is an all-natural herbal calming formula for stressed, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. It is designed to ease motion sickness during travel, support separation anxiety, help socialize nervous pets into new environments, and relieve stress from thunderstorms, fireworks, vet visits, grooming, and kennel stays.
Q2: What are the four active ingredients in Happy Traveler?
Ans: Each soft chew contains Valerian (40 mg), German Chamomile (40 mg), L-Tryptophan (40 mg), and St. John's Wort (20 mg). This formula was designed by a holistic veterinarian and PhD herbal scientist specifically to address both anxiety and motion sickness in pets.
Q3: How do I give Happy Traveler to my dog or cat?
Ans: Give the weight-based amount: 1 chew for pets up to 10 lbs; 2-3 chews for pets 10-30 lbs; 3-4 chews for dogs 30-60 lbs; 5-6 chews for dogs 60-80 lbs; 7 chews for dogs over 80 lbs. Allow 20-40 minutes for effect. Repeat after 1 hour with 1 additional chew if needed.
Q4: Why do the Happy Traveler soft chews have white spots in them?
Ans: The white specks are L-Tryptophan in granular form. L-Tryptophan is effective in both granular and powder forms. Ark Naturals uses two manufacturing suppliers, which can sometimes result in this visual variation between batches, though it does not affect the product's effectiveness.
Q5: How long does the calming effect of Happy Traveler last?
Ans: The calming effect is typically noticeable within 20-40 minutes and lasts for approximately 4-6 hours. If your pet continues to need support after this window, the manufacturer states the recommended initial dosage may be repeated as needed for ongoing stressful situations.
Q6: Is Happy Traveler suitable for cats as well as dogs?
Ans: Yes. Happy Traveler Soft Chews are formulated for both cats and dogs 12 weeks of age and older. The same active ingredients apply to both species, with dosing based on the pet's body weight, ranging from 1 chew for pets up to 10 lbs to 7 chews for dogs over 80 lbs.
Q7: What role does St. John's Wort play in this calming formula?
Ans: St. John's Wort is included specifically to help pets suffering from anxiety disorders, such as separation anxiety, and various aggression-related behavioral disorders. It works alongside the other three active ingredients to provide a comprehensive approach to anxiety and stress relief.
Q8: Can Happy Traveler be given for everyday anxiety, not just travel?
Ans: Yes. While designed with travel and motion sickness in mind, the manufacturer also recommends Happy Traveler for separation anxiety, socializing nervous pets into new environments, thunderstorms, fireworks, vet visits, grooming appointments, and general visibly nervous behavior, making it useful for a wide range of stressful situations beyond travel.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

- Returned with the original packaging, tags, accessories, manuals, and other included components, when applicable.
- Not specifically identified as final sale or non-returnable before purchase.
Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.
3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items
Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.

We do not provide direct exchange service. If you want a different item, size, color, model, or version, return the eligible original item under this Policy and place a new order separately.
