ThunderShirt Anxiety & Calming Aid for Dogs, Heather Grey

Got this just a week ago to prepare for rainy season here in Florida. My dog has serious storm anxiety, along with fireworks. She will literally shake while cowering in her crate when either happens. I used my husband's shirt to make a make-shift thunder shirt and it did help, so I decided to splurge on the real thing. She doesn't mind me putting it on her at all. Haven't had a chance to see it in action, but hope I can help someone who's worried about sizing like I was. She's a 53 pound plott hound mix, so she's deep chested measuring 30 inches. I bought the large and it fits perfectly.

I adopted a (9) month old Rottweiler, Cleo, ~{She is the 3rd Rottie I've owned} ~ and realized after a few months that she was dealing with some pretty significant anxiety. She was unable to self-soothe or calm down on her own. It was causing her to chew everything in her path, destroying not only her toys but furniture, my clothes etc. Desperate to help her, I ordered a Thundershirt and Calming Chews. After she got used to the smell of the T.Shirt, and allowed me to put in on her - she transformed almost immediately. I don't usually leave reviews, but for my big, beautiful girl - this Thundershirt has been a GODSEND! Now, she actually goes and takes it out of her cupboard and brings it I adopted a (9) month old Rottweiler, Cleo, ~{She is the 3rd Rottie I've owned} ~ and realized after a few months that she was dealing with some pretty significant anxiety.

When I remove it at night before bed, she remains calm and sleeps through the night. Because of Thundershirt ~and~ her Calming Treats, I now own a cuddly, calm, intelligent, beautiful Rottie! Thank you so much for designing and developing an anti-anxiety device that actually works!! … more

Our dog, Butters, was really scared of thunderstorms when he was a pup. I bought him a Thundershirt and put it on him the next few stormy days and he never once was afraid again. After that we didn't even need to use the shirt! Fast forward about 10 years, and he's suddenly started having anxiety attacks (due to old age). I bought him another Thundershirt and some chews and it has helped so much with his anxiety. He's been so calm and comfortable - I can't thank you enough!

I have two very sweet happy pitbulls who just love having visitors, but to the point where it takes them quite awhile to calm down and enjoy the company. I purchased them both one of these thunder shirts and also gave them some calming treats prior to having guests and it made such a difference. There was zero jumping and they were still their happy lovey selves. I would recommend these for hyper dogs!

This shirt does what it says it will do! We were at our wit's end to calm down our rescue dog from the usual loud noises, etc that sent him shivering. panting, and trying to escape. We were a little dubious at first not thinking that a "shirt" could do the trick. We really didn't want to medicate him. The shirt calmed him down so he could sleep peacefully...and us too! Just follow the instructions.

I have a mini poodle mixed, ordered a small but looks a bit lose? I put it on the tightest fit but not sure if it’s supposed fit a bit lose or tighter? Wanted to get XS but she’s usually too big for those, she’s around 15lbs... I’m still not sure if the actual shirt works, she went back to her bed when I put it on but I will know for sure when I leave the house. Praying she doesn’t howl anymore .....

My Rottweiler barks non stop at thunder and fireworks. Everyone told me to try this so I thought anything to try and help her calm down. I wish I would not have ever spent so much money on a t-shirt with velcro that does absolutely nothing for her. It breaks my heart that we both don't get any relief. This did absolutely nothing to calm her down. I am so disappointed.

While I was off for three months (early COVID) my small dog got very use to me being home. When I went back to work , he started peeing in the house , EVERY DAY. After 5 months of trying all different things to no avail I bought the Thunder shirt. Instantly stopped peeing.OMG. SO HAPPY!!!! IAlso bought one for my larger dog, She attacks the vacuum while I’m using it. Now she just sleeps . Can’t wait to see if it helps her during fireworks.

Beware of the sizing when ordering. My dog is 62 pounds and long and lean, so I ordered the Large as indicated on the labeling. It is the smallest large I've ever seen. Perhaps it was mis-boxed in a large box. But it still doesn't account for the size change from the last time I bought the same product from the same company. The one they sent is also extremely short; doesn't cover my dog's sparse undercarriage. The previous one had been perfect, but unfortunately had worn out.

My dog has terrible separation anxiety. I bought cameras so I could talk to him, tried over the counter calming supplements, and nothing really helped him. This of course isn’t a cure all, but it REALLY puts him at ease. I normally use this jacket, and stuffed Kong, and Rescue Remedy. All three together are AMAZING.
