"We've been using Thundershirt at my clinic, and the feedback from our clients is very positive. Thundershirt is a good alternative solution to try versus medications. And it will definitely "Do no harm"."

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 a.m. 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 4 p.m. 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.

“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!”

The Thundershirt worked for Rory, my Bearded Collie, who is afraid of storms - and pretty much the world around him. I've walked him in his Thundershirt and he was much more relaxed and the big test - during a storm - he actually laid down on the living room floor - while looking very cute & cosy in his Thundershirt -he's always ended up in the bathtub during a storm digging his way to China -this was a first!! It calms him - and that's the magic of the Thundershirt.

Mabel is our Jack Russel. She would shake so bad and have such heavy breathing during lighting and thunder. We did everything we could think of to calm her. Thunder Shirt made that all go away. I know we have told several people about Thundershirt. Many did buy and we laugh about starting a thundershirt club.

My German Shepherd Abbie was born blind. Storms don't bother her but loud noises & fireworks are terrifying for her. She will hide under the bed & is too afraid to even go outside. I was considering getting sedatives from the vet for her for the 4th of July this year. As I really don't want to medicate her, I decided to try the Thundershirt first. Our fireworks were on Friday the 2nd & I was so amazed at how well she did during them. At one point she was even outside playing. The fireworks have continued all around us for the past couple of days & the Thundershirt continues to help. The screaming fireworks however still send her running back inside. But once inside she is relaxed & no longer hiding under the bed.

Thank you Thundershirt! I bought this product for my nervous dog Daisy. She used to be easily startled by loud noises, thunder and fireworks, but not anymore! I really didn't believe the Thundershirt would work, but I have used it several times this year and each time Daisy is calm enough to fall asleep in her kennel. She never used to do that before! I have recommended it to all my pet sitting clients. Thank you!I have recommended it to all my pet sitting clients. thak you!

About a month ago, our Hearing Service dog Brigham, started to freak out during thunder storms. Trying to get him to work during storms was impossible. When we found the Thundershirt on the internet, we decided to try it. This picture of Brigham is the 2nd time he's worn it during a storm. This storm was quite loud directly overhead and lasted for 30 minutes. The entire time he laid on the couch snoozing. Thank you Thundershirt...we've recommended you to all our friends and our veterinarian.

I have a female American Eskimo and around 6 months old she started barking in the car non-stop and biting at her leash when I put it on her. She is now 12 yrs old so this is a problem that has been occurring for years. I have tried so many training methods with no success that I pretty much gave up and accepted this was not going to change. When I saw the Thundershirt on Dogester.com I was skeptical at first but thought what have I got to lose. I ordered the shirt and it came in very quickly to my delight. Following the instructions I put the Thundershirt on her and took her for a car ride. I was impressed as we pulled out of the driveway that she didn’t start barking but wasn’t fully convinced yet. About ½ way through the ride she started to bark I gave her a quite command and she settled right down with no further barking. I made a stop at my parents visited a while and went to put the leash on her and she just sat down quietly waiting. The ride back home was quiet and uneventful. My parents and I were both amazed at the difference and I was sold on the Thundershirt. It really does work and will allow me to take Roxie along with me in the car to more places now. Thank you so much for helping me find a solution that works.

I was very skeptical but was willing to try anything to help our dog! I can't believe how much calmer he is!!! Cody is 5 years old and has always been terrified of thunder storms and fireworks. Until a friend told me about the Thundershirt I had to give him anti-anxiety medicine to calm him. He was completely inconsolable, paced the floor and drooled terribly for hours during storms and long after. As you can see from the pic attached, he is very calm - and a bad thunder storm just passed through!!! He would never be laying on the sofa during a storm! Thank you for helping Cody!
