IS YOUR DOG FRIGHTENED OF THUNDERSTORMS?

 

The THUNDERSHIRT is a drug-free solution for dog anxiety causes due to Thunder, Fireworks, Separation, Travel, Barking, Jumping, Training and more.  Millions of dogs suffer from anxiety in the USA alone!  Whenever a dog is anxious, fearful or over-excited, Thundershirt's gentle, constant pressure can bring calm and focus.  Most dogs respond with the very first time they wear a Thundershirt!  Some dogs may require two or three sessions wearing their Thundershirt to become accustomed to the comforting security it provides.

 

 

 

THE THUNDERSHIRT FOR DOGS WORKS!


Over 80% of dog owners report significantly reduced anxiety symptoms when using Thundershirts.  Thundershirt's patent-pending design applies gentle, constant pressure on a dog's torso, and this pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs.  Pressure has been used to successfully reduce anxiety for many years. 

 

For example:

  • Touch dog trainers use pressure for a variety of anxieties

  • Veterinarians use pressure to calm cattle for vaccinations

  • People with Autism use pressure to relieve persistent anxiety

  • Mothers have known for centuries that swaddling an infant calms a child

 

 

 

  • Step 1. Place the Thundershirt on your dog’s back and wrap the Short Flap under the torso.
  • Step 2. Wrap the Long Flap under the torso and secure with Velcro onto the short flap. Make a comfortable, but snug, fit. You should be able to easily slide your fingers between the Thundershirt and your dog’s torso.
  • Step 3. Wrap the Top Flap down onto the Long Flap and secure with Velcro. Adjust to improve the snug fit and keep Thundershirt securely in place.
  • Step 4. Wrap the Chest Straps around the front of the dog and secure with Velcro. You should be able to easily slide your fingers under the Chest Straps and should not feel restricting around your dog’s neck.

 

Better Alternative than Medications


Thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers now recommend Thundershirts for dog anxiety and fear cases.  Treating dog anxiety with medications is very often inadequate.  Sedatives can help in severe cases, but usually must be administered hours before the anxiety event and the effects last long after the event has passed.  Daily-use medications are expensive and risk unwanted side-effects.  In contrast, Thundershirt is effective, risks no side effects and requires little to no time commitment from dog owners.
