The Thundershirt Really Works

Emmett has always been afraid of thunder and lightning, gunshots and fireworks.  His anxiety during a thunderstorm has kept us up many, many nights.  Emmett's noise anxiety issue is so severe that he has uncontrollable  trembling  and heavy panting for hours at a time.  Anytime the skies start to rumble we turn on music or the TV in an attempt to drown out the troubling noise.  

We are not ones to buy gimmicky type products.  When I first saw a Thundershirt display in the pet store  I chuckled to myself, shook my head and commented to the lady next to me, what will they think of next.  After the next big thunderstorm I found myself reading the Thundershirt product package at the pet store in  desperation to find something to give Edog relief (and us too for that matter.)

The Thundershirt's simple solution to canine anxiety uses gentle, constant pressure for a dramatic calming effect. Dr. Temple Grandin and other experts believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been used for years, from parents swaddling an upset baby to pressure shirts and weighted vests to relax and focus, pressure addresses and solves a wide variety of issues.

The light weight, soft, breathable, tee shirt type fabric wrap is well designed to provide a secure, comfortable snug fit.  The Thundershirt can be comfortably worn for extended periods of time .  We have also used the Thundershirt when trimming toenails and watching firework displays.  The Thundershirt is an amazing product that really works.
