"In my experience as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer and dog owner, the
Thundershirt can dramatically relieve a dog’s anxieties
associated with thunderstorms, fireworks, travel, etc. The even, gentle
pressure of the Thundershirt can refocus the dog to a more relaxed,
calmer state. Using Thundershirt to relieve the symptoms of anxiety is a good alternative to medications and at $36, it’s a
terrific value."

“As a Physical Therapist and Tellington TTouch Instructor, I frequently teach about the effectiveness of pressure wraps to reduce anxiety and fear responses in dogs. The Thundershirt is the perfect tool for calming dogs who suffer from noise phobia, anxiety, and other fear related issues. My personal experience using the Thundershirt with my own dogs has been very positive, and I happen to live in Oklahoma where storms are both frequent and dramatic! Thank you for providing this valuable product to help dogs cope with these environmental stressors.” |

"Pressure wraps are an effective, non-invasive way to help dogs to feel more at ease. I like the Thundershirt especially because of its soft material, easy-to-apply Velcro closures, and low cost. I recommend this product to my training clients for thunderstorm phobias, nail trims, and a variety of other fears such as sounds, riding in the car, and generalized fear of walking outdoors. I wish the Thundershirt had been around when my thunder-phobic German Shepherd was alive. I'm glad dogs everywhere can now reap its benefits." ~ Nicole Wilde, CPDT-KA, author Help for Your Fearful Dog Click here to see more Testimonials & Endorsements

“I’m the owner of Sunny Acres Pet Resort, a full-service day care,
boarding, training and grooming facility. Noise and other anxieties
are serious problems for many of our dogs, especially during the long
North Carolina thunderstorm season. Thundershirt has been a terrific
solution. We see the results first-hand and our clients are thrilled
too. We carry inventory in our retail area and they are selling fast!”

“We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from customers who've purchased Thundershirts. After so many storms in the past few weeks, we've been hearing more success stories from happy customers - some of them are even approaching other customers who are considering buying a Thundershirt and recommending it even before we can do it ourselves! We have spent years looking for an easy treatment for anxious or fearful dogs and I love having a solution that works so well and is reasonably priced.” ~ Mo Morelli, Owner, Phydeaux, Chapel Hill, NC |

“Dear Thundershirt, First, I want to thank you for donating Thundershirts to SPCA International's Operation Baghdad Pups Program. Your generosity and interest in this program is most appreciated. Second, my puppy, Tarmiyah, received one of these Thundershirts. It works great for my little girl. She is named after the Iraqi town in which she was rescued. The loud noises from the gunfire and bombings scared her there. When she arrived at my home in the USA, her fear of loud noises came with her. Thunderstorms, fireworks, and my vacuum cleaner now frighten her. She was receptive to the Thundershirt when I fitted her with it, and within minutes, she was calm. Last night there was a severe thunderstorm in my area. When I put on her Thundershirt, she didn't try to hide behind my legs or curl up on my lap. She just laid on her part of the sofa and remained relaxed and calm. This is great idea you came up with. Thank you again!” ~ Rebecca

“Before receiving her Thundershirt, Rage would shake drool and actually broke through a window last year breaking her leg trying to "escape" from a thunderstorm. After putting Thundershirt on her, wonder of wonders, during the next storm she actually laid down and was chewing her Nylabone, not paying any attention at all to the storm. It was like a miracle! I strongly recommend the Thundershirt for any dog that has anxiety issues. It is wonderful! |

| Reactive Barking |

| “Thundershirt has an amazing effect on our two Shi Tsu’s…Elli and Emma. Anytime visitors come to our home, they will bark nearly non-stop with Elli being the “ring leader”. Most times, we would have to confine them in a back room until our guests left. But Thundershirt has had an almost immediate effect…within seconds after putting it on, Elli is much more relaxed and the barking quickly subsides. She’s happy with her tail wagging and she’s able to be a polite and QUIET member of the group!” ~ BB, Durham, NC |  |

“My Yorkie, Rufus, would be so keyed up with separation anxiety that he would then suffer from serious diarrhea. After thorough vet examination found no medical issues, so my veterinarian suggested that this must be separation anxiety. We inherited him 8 months ago after the passing of a parent who was with him all the time. Anyway, I put the Thundershirt on him in the morning at 6 AM when I leave the house - and he rests peacefully with no panting, shaking, pacing or panicking. At noon when the dog walker comes, she removes it. She takes him for a walk and around 4pm when I come home, Rufus is a happy calm dog. In the middle of the night - if it starts to rain, thunder, or there is street noise and he starts to get unsettled, pace, pant, bark - I simply reach for one of his three Thundershirts (I keep one next to the bed), put it on Rufus and he settles right down within a minute and falls back to sleep. I can do all this in the dark without turning on lights and waking up my husband. It is truly a miracle for all three of us and we cannot thank you enough.” ~MM, Baltimore, MD

“My vet recommended that we try Thundershirt for our Cocker Spaniel. He was having seizures everyday from separation anxiety and medications were not helping enough. Thundershirt has decreased his seizures considerably.” ~AT, Rock Hill, SC |

“Enzo, our American Pit Bull Terrier, wears his in the car and it definitely helps take the edge off of his anxiety. He pants and drools and shakes a lot less.” ~KC,

“Several months ago, Sammy became frantic while riding in our motor home and nothing I did calmed him down (he had previously been a great rider, while all 3 of my other Bostons showed signs of mild anxiety). I purchased a Thundershirt for Sammy, as well as some herbs from my vet. Gave the herbs to all 4 dogs and put the Thundershirt on Sammy as well. He was almost back to his normal self! During the latter part of the trip one of the other dogs became more anxious, so we transferred the Thundershirt to him and he calmed down, while Sammy remained calm! I'm now awaiting the arrival of the 3 other Thundershirts that I ordered for my other dogs!” ~ WW, Polk City, FL |

“When my 6-year-old German Shepherd had surgery for a benign cyst in August she was very stressed. She is a long coated dog and when they shaved the area, even the air touching her skin upset her. She started to pant, shake, sniff and lick the area. I thought of the Thundershirt we use for thunder anxiety and put in on her. It was amazing how calm she became immediately. I called and had another Thundershirt overnighted to me. The surgery was the following day. For ten days I kept her in the Thundershirts . Anytime I took it off she became stressed again. I don't know how I would have gotten through that time without the security she found in her Thundershirt.” ~ LA, Wheatley Heights, NY.

“The navy base in Lemoore, CA recommended that we try Thundershirt. Our breed has obsessive compulsive disorder and was constantly running in a circle and chasing tail -even with medications. |
