Will this be good with separation anxiety in my chihuahua?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 06, 2020
This calming coat provides anxiety relief from thunderstorms, traveling, crating, fireworks, loud noises, hyperactivity, vet visits, and separation.

We live in a hot climate zone. Is it harmful for dog to wear in 90 degree weather?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 19, 2019
While this coat is made of cotton, it will retain some body heat so it would be very important to monitor your pet and ensure they do not overheat.

How do i put the coat on my dog

Answer by Chewy • Feb 06, 2018
Place the Calming Coat on your dog's back. Fit the Long Chest Wrap around the front of your dog and secure to velcro on Short Chest Wrap. Be sure not to secure too tightly, to prevent limiting your dog's movement. Then wrap the Long Body Wrap under the torso of your dog through the Body Slit. Continue the Long Body Wrap around the back of your dog. Wrap Short Body Wrap under the torso of your dog and secure to velcro straps on opposite side of Long Body Wrap. Adjust as needed for proper snug fit.

How do you know for sure what size to get???

Answer by Chewy • Jun 07, 2021
The sizing chart may be located by clicking the “Size” tab, on the product page. While weight is listed, the pets chest girth measurement is most accurate to use for size. To measure the chest girth you'll measure around the broadest part of the rib-cage behind the front legs. If the dog happens to be in between sizes, it's then recommended to select the bigger size.

thunder vest

It was difficult to place on my pet, I wanted to return it but Chewy was very kind and requested I donate it instead to a shelter. Thank you, Chewy

Sizing is off...

Per weight, I got the x-small for my 13 pound poodle mix, but it barely closes. This is no different than a t-shirt, so it did little to help with anxiety. It needs to be weighted to do that, IMO.

Such a calming color and feel

Wow. This jacket is made of soft cotton fabric. It is snug around Sassy and gives her the feeling of being held so she is safe. She doesn’t ride well in the car

Velcro as loud as thunder, but seems to help

Wish this was made with buttons or something quieter, I'm not sure if she'll let me put it on her again after hearing what it sounds like to take it off. But for what it's worth it did seem to help a bit.

works great our only issue is when we put it on Jack he thinks it is time to go outside. The great thing is so far this 75 pound lab isn't cowarding in my lap when the clouds roll in. Jack was an abused dog and learning to love and trust took him a while now with this vest he isn't in fear of every loud noise like he was

Easy to use

Nike has a tumor on her side that is inoperable. We needed to cover it so she couldn't reach it. This garment did the trick! We call it her dress to help her

Happy Car Rides

In her wonderful pink coat, my girl now jumps in our car by herself and happy car rides now everywhere no matter where it how long.

Disappointed

The instructions were awful. It took 4 intelligent adults to figure it out.

It provided security for our Bella.

Although it didn't completely alleviate her anxiety over the sound of thunder or fireworks, it did give her considerable comfort. She also looked very good in it
