USING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME: ThunderShirt is designed to be safe to leave on for extended periods rnof time when appropriate for the situation or issue. When sized correctly and properly put on with a soothingly snug rnfit, your dog should be very comfortable. If your dog will be wearing a ThunderShirt for more than one hour at a time, rnwe recommend removing ThunderShirt every one to two hours during the initial periods to check for any signs of rnirritation points. Irritation points are very rare, but it is best to be cautious. After confirming no irritation points during rninitial uses for extended periods, we recommend that you still remove the ThunderShirt at least twice a day for rnthirty minutes. CHEST STRAPS SHOULD BE LOOSE AROUND NECK: Use the two-finger collar rule when applying the neck rnstraps (i.e. easily slide two fingers between the neck straps and your dogs neck without pressure). The neck straps rnare only intended to keep the ThunderShirt in place.
To get the most accurate size anxiety vest for your pet, measure the girth of their chest, around the widest part of your dog's torso right behind the front legs, with a cloth tape measure. Pull the cloth tape snug, but not tight. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, you can use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterwards. If your dog is in between sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size.

This package arrived in less than 24 hours! And magically, about 5 minutes before it started storming. My dog is usually shaking so much that you can hear him rattling under the bed, and he is laying sleeping at my feet, calm as can be with this thunder shirt. I’m so grateful for how quickly it came and how quickly it worked!
Before I get too far along, I wanted your thoughts if I should get him the medium? He's 22 pounds so I followed the size guidance which 18-25lbs is a small. I think his length is greater than the weight because it looks so small lol I only gave it a four because I have not had it a full 24 hrs and I'm wondering if he should get a bigger size (it looks like he's wearing his baby brother's jacket lol ).
I have a very hyper American Bulldog. He is the only dog I have ever had that fights sleep. We have a hard time taking him to the vet. This shirt is amazing. He calms down as soon as I put it on him. I was scptical at first. I would highly recommend this
Our sweet girl has gotten more anxious as the years have passed. She’s about to turn 14, and definitely seems antsy and restless, particularly in the late afternoon/early evenings. The thundershirt helps significantly…I think she would keep it on 24/7 if it was up to her. We have 2. I highly recommend it to soothe an agitated pup.
Fits well, easy to put on and looks good on Taffy. Not sure if it calms her down yet. Was recommended by trainer to possibly calm her down when visitors come to our house. Will let you know later.
Our dog had a 3rd episode of debilitating vertigo when we thought to try a thunder shirt. He immediately was more stable and had less staggering to find his footing. We found it to be immensely helpful to him, and, thus, to us.
