Dog anxiety is a surprisingly common problem and includes issues like fear of thunder, fireworks, separation, travel, crating, problem barking and much more. Millions of dogs in the United States suffer from anxiety severe enough that their owners are seeking help. And these anxieties are often very serious problems for their owners… destroyed furniture, damaged homes, personal injury, lost sleep, loss of control, financial strain. These problems frequently cost owners thousands of dollars in veterinarian, trainer, and damaged property bills. Medication is the most common approach used to treat anxiety… unfortunately, drugs are expensive, time consuming, risk negative side effects, and often result in very limited improvement. But there is another solution that is highly effective for most dogs. 

Pressure has been used to successfully reduce anxiety for many years for both animals and humans. Examples include parents swaddling a inconsolable newborn infant, TTouch dog trainers using pressure wraps for a variety of anxieties , veterinarians using "squeeze chutes" while vaccinating cattle, and thousands of people with autism using pressure to relieve their persistent anxiety. Experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system.

With its patent-pending design, Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited. Based on surveys completed by over 1,000 Thundershirt users, over 85% of dogs show significant improvement in anxiety symptoms when using Thundershirt.  That's why Thundershirt is able to offer a 100% money-back guarantee. 

Thundershirt is an excellent treatment for most types of dog anxiety and fear issues. For many anxieties, the makers of Thundershirt recommend just putting on a Thundershirt and observing the results (No training!). You very well may see significant improvement for noise, crate, travel, barking and others.  For more complicated anxiety cases, it is recommended that Thundershirt be used as part of a behavior modification program.

Made from a lightweight, breathable and washable fabric, the Thundershirt is easy to put on and take off.  Grey in colour, the Thundershirt comes in five sizes.

For selecting the correct size, your dog's chest size is the best measurement to use. If not available, your dog's weight may be used as a guideline.
