How exactly does Thundershirt work?
The Thundershirt provides a gentle, constant pressure on the dog's body. This has a calming effect on the nervous system, it is also used for newborn babies (swaddling) and people with an anxiety disorder. Thundershirt has proven to be very effective against anxiety in dogs. A study among over 1000 users showed that more than 85% of dogs were less anxious because of this vest.
The Thundershirt offers the optimal solution for dogs with:
- Fear of thunderstorms
