ThunderShirt for Dogs, Dog Calming Jacket, Thunder Shirt Large, Anxiety Coats for Dogs, Instant Natural Relief for Storms, Fireworks & Separation, Calming Vest, 5 Sizes, Grey

This Thundershirt is absolutely amazing! My 10 month old Cockapoo had the most awful separation anxiety and howled the entire time I was out. The neighbours told me he always howled with no let up until he heard my car on the drive, once for almost 3 hours. He was agitated and upset when I got home and took ages to settle down. When I was in the house he would howl if I went into the kitchen and closed the door and followed me all over the house. He woke us up two or three times through the night, every night. He also was beginning to snarl at other dogs on our walks. I bought this Thundershirt and the moment I put it on he was a changed dog. I walked into the kitchen and he stayed calmly in his basket. I went out for a few hours and filmed him while I was out and he just watched me drive away, snuffled about a bit and settled down to sleep. He stayed asleep and calm all the time I was out. He no longer snarls at other dogs son our walk and is altogether a happier, calmer dog. His anxiety has gone, and it seems accumulative. The more he wears the shirt the more calm he is getting, even when he's not wearing it. I can't recommend this shirt enough. You must get the correct size though, even if it takes a few attempts, and you MUST wrap it tightly. It doesn't restrict their breathing or movement, and it doesn't rub or hurt. Its very soft jersey cloth and he now sleeps in it all night. I've filmed him all night and he doesn't make a peep. He waits to have his huggy nightshirt on before he goes to bed. I think he's grateful not to be feeling what must have been the most awful anxiety. What a blessing this shirt has been. I've bought one for all my friends dogs and my daughters doggy.

I am very pleased with this product and surprised by how well it has helped. My lurcher has been terrified of loud noises like fireworks since I've had him (he's a rescue). He normally has a full blown panic attack: smacking his lips, shuddering/shaking, hyperventilating, over heating, staring so wide eyed you can see the whites of his eyes all the way round his iris' and pacing about refusing to settle. I've tried various things with mininal effect. This year I bought this thunder coat. I should have bought it earlier but didn't get my act together to sadly his first night wearing it was 3/11/20 and people had already started setting off fireworks. That first night I wasn't convinced it was helping to be honest, but as I hadn't had chance to egt him used to it before he needed it, I knew that was my fault and nt the coat. I followed the instructions like putting it in my laundry basket so it smelled of me etc. By the second night he was hearing it (4/11/20), he was noticeably calmer and actually sat down and settled with us on the sofa, something he has never managed before during fireworks. This evening (5/11/20) is his third night in a row wearing it and there have been a huge number of fireworks. As you can see from the photo and hopefully the video (the video doesn't pick up most of the fireworks, but trust me there were lots the sound on my phone is just rubbish!!), he is like a totally different dog. He did prick up his ears and look up for a few of the very loud bangs, and very occasionally he shuddered slightly, but the majority of the time he was calm and settled. No pacing, no hyperventilating, jone of the more extreme signs of anxiety. He even nodded off at one point which I would never have thought possible before. We normally have to have the TV or radio on to try and drown out some of the noise, but didn't even need to do that this evening. I am so impressed with the difference this coat has made and I'm very very hopeful that effect will carry on every time we use it for him.

This is a good product, well made, and really does seem to help to calm our rescue dog down. He wasn't sure about it to start with, and seemed to view it as some sort of punishment, but lots of fuss and treats soon made him realise it's a good thing. He often looks quite relieved when we put it on him when he's getting overwhelmed and overexcited, he sits beautifully for me to put it on which he wouldn't if he didn't want it. The reason I've dropped a star is because of the velcro. It's good strong velcro and there's plenty of it to get a good fit, but unfortunately with velcro comes that noise which is not good for calming an anxious dog - it seems a little counter-intuitive. The velcro part is over with fairly quickly but I still think it could be avoided altogether. We have another shirt made by a different company that we also use on our dog, which works just as well but has no velcro, it just slips over his head and has little 'sleeves' for his front legs. This one is much easier and quicker to get on our dog because he's not jumping every time he hears the velcro.

We've exhausted over the counter products to help our very anxious dog and this was our last thing to try before he goes back to the vet. It does nothing for his separation issues and general anxiety. It does, however, seem to calm him down a bit sometimes when on a walk. Not as effective as we hoped for but better than a lot of other products that have done absolutely nothing. At least it also doubles up as a coat for slightly chilly evenings!

I ordered the ThunderShirt for my three and a half year old Maltese dog after searching for something that would help him from being stressed and barking his heart out every time he heard fireworks. It arrived earlier than I expected which was great as where I live fireworks are set off way before bonfire night. From the moment I put it on him he relaxed completely and didn’t attempt to bark or run to the door once despite the firework noises being relentless. It was unbelievable really and he has worn it for the last three evenings and has been very happy to have it on. It fits perfectly and the material is lovely and soft and stretches well. I will say though that the Velcro fasteners are strong and do make the Velcro ripping sound but my dog was already used to this from the Velcro fasteners on his dog coat so it didn’t bother him. The other thing I noticed was that he didn’t bother barking when an animal appeared on TV which is a real bonus as he usually barks at every creature even a cartoon one! So this will be great to put on him for a while if we want to watch an animal film or programme in peace. I’m so happy that we have had a stress free fireworks weekend at last. The ThunderShirt is worth every single penny I paid for it.

I didn't hold out a huge amount of hope for this jacket, but after an awful fireworks 'week' in November, we were dreading New Year's Eve. My dog would charge around the house, frantic, barking and panting, not knowing what to do with herself, from the first 'bang' to the last. It was so upsetting for all of us. A well known tablet / spray / diffuser did nothing for her. This 'coat' didn't work a miracle but it did work wonders!! As soon as we put it on her (before the fireworks), she settled, became very 'docile', got into her bed and went to sleep. We put it on her on New Year's Eve and whilst it didn't stop all of her barking, she was without a doubt, much more relaxed and sleepy. I have no idea how a thin, T shirt type of material can have such an effect, but it helped her a lot. For sizing, I asked a lot of questions on 'ask an owner'. Their answers were very helpful. My dog is a Cavachon, she weighs 11 kilo and is 56cm around the ribs so I didn't know whether to order the medium or small. The small is perfect for her, it's certainly not too small because it's so stretchy and of course, you can't have it loose or it won't do it's job. I would definitely recommend anyone to try this for their anxious dog.

I have an 8 month old rescue Staffie Whippet cross bitch. I have had several dogs over many years, but none who have chewed (lucky me!) So it came as a massive shock when this little "ball of fun" decided that she loved me so much, that she would suffer from Seperation Anxiety every time I left the house, even if only for 4 minutes!!!! Total chewing costs so far are about £800!!!! I had heard of the Thundershirt from a friend several months before I got Holly and admit that I was sceptical at the time. But having tried all the usual training advice from dog experts on the internet, dog training classes, and herbal remedies, I decided that the cost of the Thundershirt was a drop in the ocean, and that I would give it a try. Nothing to lose! A friend was visiting when I received the coat and stayed to see if it would have any effect (she knew first hand about Holly's "lively" nature!!) IT WAS LIKE TURNING ON A SWITCH!! This normally manic dog nearly fell over, she was so laid back!!! Within seconds (yes, seconds not even minutes) Holly climbed up onto my friend's lap and fell asleep in her arms like a baby!! My friend and I looked at each other in amazement, neither of us believing what we were seeing!! Some reports claim that it is effective in aboout 80% of cases. Holly was definately in that 80%!! I can not recommend this product highly enough! If your dog has behavioural problems linked to anxiety/nervousness etc., its most definately worth a try! OK, it doesn't work for that 20%, but I wish that I had tried it before I wasted money on other "remedies". One last thing..............I've ordered a second one, so that we can have one on and one in the wash!!

First one I ordered had Velcro fasten not fully stitched looked like machinest had run out of thread but not realised, but seller quickly replaced without any problems. Whilst the coat is a little too lose on my teacup Chihuahua if id gone for extra extra small that would have probably been too short in overall body length because my fur baby is a little long. All in all the measurements are very accurate and if you measure your dog has recommended you should be fine. My little fur baby is a little stressfull in new situations but particularly during thunder storms, going to the Vets or when fireworks are going off, so much so I hate it once fireworks go on sale has bonefire night now seems to go on for weeks not just 5th November and likewise New Years Eve as fireworks seem to be the norm. Only had chance to try once so far during heavy thunder storm and within five/ten minutes of putting on my usually very nervous little boy lay down and went to sleep. I just hope it works as Well when fireworks start to go off because its upsetting to see how stressed my little fur baby gets. Likewise on his next visit to the Vets (it was his Vet who recommended the Storm jacket). Initial reaction very good and I'll post an update once the ultimate test takes place - fireworks and Vets visit. Don't know why or how it works but definitely seems like it does. It's a bit like swaddling a baby approach I think, so some could argue a blanker wrapped around the dog with a cuddle would work just as well, but the dog couldn't move around with a blanket but of course can in the Storm jacket. Added benefit this seller was selling the XS Storm Jacket £10 cheaper than Pets At Home and other Amazon sellers, and having seen boxed product in Pets at Home, I can confirm I received the same genuine boxed product. All in all recommended product for stressed pooch. Update had this stress jacket for about 3 years and still fits my pooch perfectly and looks as good as new after numerous washes. It works brilliantly during stressful situations particularly when fireworks are going off. Definitely calms my little fur baby and he happily lets me pit it on him. Definitely worth buying.

So happy with the delivery time. Ordered in the afternoon and it was delivered to rural Victoria the next day. Quality is very good. Will order from this company again. Couldn't be happier

Ero scettico sull'efficacia di questo genere di cappottini, ma essendoci stato utilissimo devo ricredermi. Abbiamo preso la taglia M per il nostro cane di 17 kg (un incrocio simil Malinois) che soffre terribilmente di ansia da abbandono quando resta solo a casa. 🟢 PRO: EFFETTO CALMANTE REALE Funziona davvero: Il principio della pressione costante sul corpo ha un effetto "abbraccio" che funziona. Abbiamo notato un netto miglioramento: il cane è decisamente più sereno, si agita molto meno e ha smesso di ansimare continuamente vicino alla porta. Vestibilità ottima: Nonostante la corporatura snella e slanciata tipica del Malinois, le fasce in velcro permettono di regolarlo al millimetro, aderendo perfettamente al petto e al tronco senza limitare i movimenti. Qualità: Il tessuto è robusto, traspirante e non fa sudare il cane. Già lavato in lavatrice a 30 gradi ed è tornato come nuovo. 🔴 CONTRO: ABITUARLI GRADUALMENTE Non aspettatevi di metterlo e uscire subito di casa. Abbiamo dovuto farlo indossare per pochi minuti nei momenti di relax, premiandolo, per farglielo associare a qualcosa di positivo. È un percorso, ma i risultati si vedono. 💡 CONCLUSIONE: Per noi è diventato una salvezza. Se il vostro cane soffre quando restate fuori, vale assolutamente ogni centesimo. Consigliatissimo!
