People trying to hold a dog that’s freaking out don’t need to hear a long intro about the shirt!😂
Hey David...Totally agree. Vid is from 4 years ago when everything was new. Thanks for being patient.
These are also wonderful for anxious cats. We originally bought ours for our special needs chihuahua mix, but just after he passed away we adopted an older cat with anxiety issues, we tried rescue remedy, feliway and different medications before it dawned on us we could try the thundershirt. Worked like a dream!
Hey Angela, Thanks for sharing this info! So glad to hear that the thunder shirt helped your cat!
Thanks for the video
I'm leaving this comment in hopes of helping other skeptics, as I deeply regret having waited so long to try this item. (I'm such a cynic when it comes to things that can feel kind of gimmicky.) Honestly, this worked beautifully to calm my precious pup, Landon! And it's never too late; he's 12 years old. (See why I suffer such immense guilt? All this time I could have eased his stress and brought him some measure of relief.) My little guy gets so freaked-out during thunderstorms, (shaking, quaking, panting, clinging...the whole nine.) To my surprise, as soon as I put the ThunderShirt on him, the tremors ceased and he literally collapsed in my arms - in a good way; just laid right down and eventually dozed off. Please don't wait like I did to give this thing a shot. Sure, there's a possibility it won't work for your dog. More importantly, there's a chance it will! Landon's stress is so much less intense, his fear so minimized - he'll often fall asleep. The anxiety-driven symptoms he once displayed are almost non-existent. Needless to say, I'm beyond grateful and I highly recommend giving it a try. This almost reads like a paid endorsement, doesn't it? Yuck. Let me assure you I'm not affiliated with this company in any way. Just trying to spread the word to help other pups who may benefit from such a product ('cause I just love doggies!)💙 In fact, I purchased a similar item from the AKC in addition to the ThunderShirt. Both perform equally well; both provide the same positive results. It's the concept I enthusiastically support - not a particular brand. (And remember, it's all dog dependent; he/she will determine whether this works or not!)🤗
Thank you so much for leaving this comment and we are so happy to hear that Landon got some relief from a ThunderShirt. It can make such a difference when it works (as you have witnessed) .... and not only does the dog get tremendous relief, but so do the dog's loving humans. Great to hear this story and thank you again for sharing!!
Same. I never expected this to work so well. Amazing. I regret I found it so late! (She’s 8)
I got one because of thunder. My dog isn't the nervous type. She calmed down and slept longer. She's seemingly happier with it on.
It's been very wet and stormy. This was definitely a wonderful investment.
Watermoon, so glad the tundershirt has helped your dog.
I had an old thunder shirt for my previous dog, who was very sensitive to loud noises. I just got my female spayed, and she was scratching her shaved belly terribly to the point of bleeding. I couldn’t remember how to put the thunder shirt together to protect her, and thankfully, your video was very helpful!
I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to put it on and this video clarified things in seconds. Thanks for your help!
Glad it was helpful! Thunder shirts can be tricky.
My son loves this thing...awesome purchase
Thank you so very much!!
Thank you. I found one for free and had no idea how to put it on!
Very helpful video. Thanks for posting
Thanks Matthew!
@@EverythingDog I wish there were more camera angles and that the Thundershirt were shown and handled more so I can match it up to the one I bought. I am having a hard time putting it on my dog. There seems to be a flap that doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't make sense to me.
@@sarahricefox9042 Sorry you have having such a hard time. Do you have a stuffed dog to practice on? I know the first few times I tried to use it I also thought there was an extra flap! Keep looking at it. Im sure you'll be able to sort it out!
Just bought this and wanted to make sure that it was a correct fit for my 12lb baby…I mean Bichon Frise😌. Right this minute he is laying down almost asleep. I had one for my other baby/dog who was a Blue healer collie mix, she loved it. It really comforted her. (Sadly she passed last year😢.). My bichon cries the whole time he’s in the car. He never used to be affected by the fireworks but this year he is. So I am hoping the Thunder Shirt will work for both. I also ordered the Thunder Wunder Calming Chews that I saw on a commercial for the first time a couple of days ago. As my dog also hates baths and barks at other dogs I hope they will help as well. I will make sure I check with the vet first though. Anyway he’s out 😴. Shirt seems to be working so far.
Hey Teddie V, in my experience, Thunder shirts work right away or not at all. Just depends on the dog. Glad it's helping your little Bishon. We drive our dogs out of town the night of fireworks so they don't hear them. We bring snacks and read a book until they are over. Good luck.
Thank you so much! My dog is freaking out because of this thunderstorm and i couldn’t figure out how to put it on her :)
Thank you!!
You are welcome!
We love the Thundershirt! It gives our nervous dog confidence in public, as well as comfort him during storms.
Hey Wanda, that's great. So glad it works for your dog. In my experience, it will either work miracles or do nothing! Every dog is different. Thanks for the comment.
I bought one for my Pomsky yesterday. I put it on incorrectly and he was stuck to the carpet crying when my son got home.. he’d even wet himself 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Thanks to this video he’s now sleeping through very loud fireworks!!! He’s usually whining and shaking trying to jump on my bed.. this shirt is a miracle!!!!!!!
So happy it's helping. It either is a miracle or a "nothing." Every dog is different.
I bought one for my parents dog. I tried it on my own dog first, and she fell asleep immediately :') I didn't know if that was a good sign, but now I guess it's a good thing :) She could use one too, so I ordered one for her today :)
Hi Anita, yes falling asleep is great. Thundershirts can have zero effect, or it can calm dogs down. Let us know how your dog responds.
@@EverythingDog I tried it three times, every time she fell asleep. She loves thunderstorms and fireworks for some reason, watching out of the window at home, but she has some anxiety issues around other people and dogs. And she's afraid of the wind. She wants to sleep for hours with the thundershirt around her body. Do you know if that's ok? A little bit more loose maybe, not too tight?
@@AH-el7rr If the Thundershirt helps her to not react to people and other dogs and the wind it's an easy way to stop the rehearsal. I'd remove the thundershirt as soon as her triggers have left or stopped.
@@EverythingDog Ok, thanks for the information! :)
I have 2 pups who get car sick and we are moving across the country soon, I’m trying to come up with more ideas to help them in the car. Do you think a thunder shirt could benefit car sickness?
Gabriella, the only way to know is to buy one and try it before you move. If it doesn't work try crating and covering the crate. Some dogs get motion sick and some get sick from watching all the things zoom past them. Good luck.
Works like a charm asleep in seconds
So glad it helped your dog. It either works like magic or it does nothing. Not all dog will respond to it. My dog Gio hates it.
Thanks you for them info on the TS. It seems to be safe. Is it?
Eloise, it's very safe. It will either work and calm your dog or it will do nothing. Good luck
Hi Angela, I saw your comment and just want to know if the Thundershirt worked on your chihuahua mix, we have a chihuahua mix with very serious fear issue. Thanks
Hey Beny, I'll be interested in Angela's answer as well. In my experience Thunder shirts either work immediately, or not at all. Give it a try and let us know how it worked....or didn't for our little guy.
I am buyingbone because my dog paces back and forth at night as we get relaxed and it drives me nuts! No amount of comforting her helps.
How old is she?
They do offer a 45 day return . Ordered mine from Chewy.
Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it.

We use the Thundershirt for our son's dog when he gets antsy in the evening. Quiets him immediately.
i need help with head harnesses
Take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/3KH-pgTpP5g/v-deo.html we show the gentle leader and how to put on.
I wish someone would make a video that shows how to put this contraption on a long-haired dog. When I tried to use this on my anxious dog, her fur got all tangled up in the velcro, causing pain and making things worse. I couldn't put it on properly because the velcro was all full of fur, and I couldn't take it off without ripping fur out by the roots! So I further traumatized an animal who was already upset by a storm. Poor dog. 😱
Linda, It sounds like you need, and probably others, a thunder shirt specifically for a long-haired dog more than a video! Such a bummer about your experience and your dog's experience.
I’m having a hard time getting it to Velcro because he is a collie and they have a bunch of hair.
Ouch, that can be a problem. I wonder if Thundershirt has a special shirt for long haired dogs?
Is thunder shirt good for motorcycles go by is it okay for them
What's great about a thundershirt is, it is not going to hurt your dog. Try it and let us know how it works.
I put it on my dog. And he started to immediately bite it. Arre there ways to let him get used to it. Or does that mean that it doesn't work
Hey Merthe, I would say that its not an option for him if he's biting at it.
@@EverythingDog okay thank you for your quick response 😁👍
How do I wash it? Do I have to hand wash it ?
Follow the manufactures directions.
Is it supposed to be a small fit? I think we got our pup a size too big? It is much larger on our dog than on your baby.
It needs to be snug and comfortable, not loose. The goal is to calm the dog with a full body "hug."
My dog hates it. I didn’t even have it completely on yet and he started to growl at me with a „one more move“ angry face.
Manu, guess it's not an option for your dog! My dog Gio doesn't like them either. I only put it on him for a video and that was enough. Glad you recognized his "angry face!"
It should NOT be as tight as possible.. the gist of the product is to provide gentle constant pressure. I put it on too tightly the first time and my dog was very uncomfortable.
Thanks James.
So I can't leave it on for 7 hours while I'm at work?? My 3 month old puppy got a bad separation anxiety
No, it's not designed for that. Imagine being hugged by someone for 7 hours! Gross. You could put it on for 15 minutes, then take if off and leave. If your puppy has true separation anxiety, you'll need more than this thunder shirt. Get a camera and watch your puppy while you are away, that will tell you what she is actually doing and if it's really separation anxiety. if you are gone for 7 hours, you puppy needs a Long Term confinement area and can NOT be crated for that length of time. Here is a link to an article about LTConfimement areas: denisemazzola.com/long-term-confinement/
@@EverythingDog thank you for the link I leave the crate door open so he can go out and use the bathroom the crate is more like a safe place fo him to sleep and nap during the day his better now from barking all the time now he stops for 10 to 15 minutes at the time and the longest is been 25 minutes with out barking cuz I check the camera and that's what it shows now I can shower and his not barking just whining I think is good progress thank you
My dog was. Like wtf is thi- 💤
Not surprising. Dog's either love it and fall asleep or it's a big nothing.
Its easy and a 10 minute video
Is that a real dog? Sick!
As of July 3, 2023, there is a 45-day guarantee for a full refund.
Great information. Thank you.
Skip the first 3 minutes of this video.
Paid by the word?
That was all talk no help
Sorry you feel that way. Do you have a Thundershirt for your dog?
This was super unhelpful
