• For what types of symptoms will Thundershirt work?

Thundershirt has even cured symptoms as severe as clawing through walls and seizures.

• Will it work the first time my dog wears Thundershirt?

  Most dogs show significant improvement within minutes of putting Thundershirt on for the first time. Some others take two to three usages before they show significant improvement.

• How tight is “too tight”?

  Thundershirt should only have comfortable pressure on your dog. How do you judge “comfortable”? You should be able to easily slip you fingers under the Thundershirt. For the next straps, they should only be gently stretched... no pressure is needed around the front chest area; the benefit from Thundershirt comes from the pressure around the torso behind the front legs. When securing the torso straps, you should be stretching the fabric, but it does not require any strenuous force.

• How long can my dog wear Thundershirt?

  Thundershirt is comfortable and safe to wear for extended periods.

• Will my dog eventually no longer need Thundershirt for noise anxiety?

  In some cases, yes! Thundershirt allows many dogs to experience the problem noise(s) in a calmer, less fearful state. Over time, this enables some dogs to learn to be less fearful of the noise(s) even without Thundershirt. The underlying symptoms diminish, or in some cases are eliminated entirely.

“I purchased the Thundershirt in hopes of trying it out on our darling girl, Sophia Rose. She gets anxious when loud noises occur such as fireworks or thunderstorms. And believe it or not, one night last week we had a thunderstorm so I put the Thundershirt on her and to my surprise Sophia Rose stayed calm!”
