Thundershirt - The Calming Anxiety Treatment Dog Shirts

The Thundershirt's patent design applies a constant pressure that creates a calming effect for dogs.  These are perfect for your overly-excited or anxious dog!  Studies have shown the use of the Thundershirt improves anxiety symptoms in 80% of dogs.  The pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system.  Excitability and hyperactivity (especially around strangers) is a common dog problem that can be addressed by simply putting the Thundershirt on your dog.  The Thundershirt also helps with separation anxiety and travel anxiety.  Machine Washable, Hang Dry.

Why does the Thundershirt work for most dogs?
The calming effect of gentle pressure has been used for years by veterinarians when administering vaccinations.  Even people with autism and children with behavioral problems use pressure shirts and weighted vests to help relax and focus!

How to use Thundershirt:
We recommend putting the Thundershirt on your dog and observing the results - no training necessary!  For more complicated anxiety cases, use the Thundershirt as an addition to a behavior modification program recommend by your vet.

For the first use of Thundershirt, we recommend offering a small amount of food to your dog- using the Thundershirt as a plate!  Studies have shown that dogs become more comfortable and trusting of something that "brings" them food (or is associated with food).
