The Thundershirt has now helped many thousands of dogs around the world. And Thundershirts are being rapidly embraced by professionals; thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers are now recommending Thundershirts for their anxiety cases. Dog anxiety often brings the dog/human relationship to the breaking point, and far too many of these dogs end up abandoned or in shelters. But with Thundershirt it is easy to help relieve the suffering of millions of dogs and to help strengthen the dog/human bond. Thundershirt is an excellent treatment for most types of dog anxiety and fear issues. For many anxieties, we recommend just putting on a Thundershirt and observing the results (No training!). You very well may see significant improvement for noise, crate, travel, barking and others with absolutely no training. For more complicated anxiety cases, we recommend using Thundershirt as part of a behavior modification program.

For selecting the correct size, your dog's chest size is the best measurement to use. If not available, your dog's weight may be used as a guideline. See the size chart. Thundershirt is made with durable, washable fabric. When necessary, Thundershirt may be washed in a regular cycle using regular laundry detergent and cold water. Hang to dry. If necessary, to remove dog hair from your Thundershirt’s fastener hooks, we recommend using a standard dog “slicker” brush (Available at most any pet store for as little as $2.99). A couple of strokes and the fastener hooks will be nearly completely hair-free.
