ThunderShirt Sport: Effective Anxiety Vest for Dogs Review

Australian Shepherd Owner - I have a full size Aussie. He has an anxiety disorder (excessive licking/walking in the past 2 years etc.) from a previous home. BENEFITS: Immediate calming effect! Within 10 minutes he passed out and fell asleep as if under the influence of drugs. I put it on SNUG. First she fed him treats in the form of a "plate" - and then treats during use. Went like clockwork. And he doesn't do drugs! CONS: I feel like it's some kind of dog straight jacket, LOL. He can move all…

I am amazed at how great this works! I have a Great Dane who is a really great kid. She is afraid of loud noises outside. If a stranger enters the house, she runs after me, then she barks! Actually it's funny. We had a big thunderstorm the other morning and my poor dog didn't want my wife to leave. She literally forced herself to walk past her wife, ran to the car and wouldn't let my wife get in the car to go to work! She was always shaking, tucking her tail in every thunderstorm, and on July…

My dog suffers from anxiety due to PTSD (gunshots, explosives, fighter jets, thunder). had not. With it, in the absence of anxiety-provoking stimuli, he jumps like a shot at the slightest rustle of Velcro (not to mention the tearing sound when putting it on and taking it off). Once the shirt is on, he wanders around taped to my knees, head and tail down, until the Thundershirt comes loose. If it makes him that anxious without the shots, I don't think it will work. UPDATE: I am a consumer who is

I highly recommend this thunder shirt for pets who are afraid of fireworks! My dog has never been afraid of thunderstorms, but fireworks make her shake so much I'm afraid she might have a seizure. Received it a few days before July 4th and am so thankful it shipped overnight! As soon as the fireworks started I put this shirt on her and it took about 45 minutes to take effect but when it arrived I am still amazed that she rolled onto her back, belly up and slept so loud that she snored. I was…

This is the 3rd Thundershirt I have bought for my dog. She doesn't have thunderstorm phobia but she is scared and the wrap effect of these shirts definitely helps her calm down. I also use them to keep warm on our cold weather walks outside. She had major surgery on February 1st and it was cold that morning so I put a lightning fast shirt on her as we drove to the hospital. The surgeon later advised her not to remove her shirt after the surgery to compress the wound and prevent her from…

I can't bark enough about this jacket (get it? haha)! Simply the best and I'll tell you why - we took a (neglected) older dog with a ton of separation anxiety. We talk about ALWAYS peeing around the house (despite having a dog door and garden access), on the bed when he was locked in the bedrooms, on the carpet when we locked him in a cage, by and large cell and me uh, i know He was throwing up anything and everything, even managed to climb onto the table and eat chocolate chip cookies (jerk)…
