Dealing with dogs that have anxiety, fear or stress over common things can be a nightmare. We often try to hold them and comfort them, but to no avail. Sometimes that only makes it worse, because we are reinforcing that behavior. I have recommended the Thundershirt to several clients and have seen good results. It works in more than 1/2 the cases, and I’ve even used it on my dogs.
It’s a good product that doesn’t make a host of promises. It uses a simple premise and that is the swaddling theory (as in swaddling babies to keep them calm). When it works it’s great, and when it doesn’t – it doesn’t make anything worse. The Thundershirt can alleviate anxiety over fireworks, separation anxiety, fear and more. Sometimes it take a while to work, sometimes it works right away. I highly suggest you consider trying it for your cat or dog. It’s not an expensive product, but worth every penny.
