Completely blown away!
We first ordered one for our Boston Mix who has developed major anxiety to storms/loud noises. He weighs about 40lbs and his chest circumference is 25″, so he is right at the top end of the Medium. It fits him perfectly, as he is barrel-chested and not very long, so there is no issue with the rubbing on his male parts. It makes him very cozy and sleepy, which does help him relax during a storm, but he still runs to hide in the closet if the thunder is loud. It hasn’t made him immune to the thunder, but I do think it keeps him comfortable. We usually leave it on him longer than necessary because he’s so cozy!We ordered one for our other dog, though, and it is crazy how calm it makes her. To the point of worrying if she’s okay! She is a Red Heeler (but she is taller and longer than most with a skinnier body), weighs 45lbs and she is significantly longer than our Boston so we ordered her a large. She is definitely on the small side for Large, it wraps around her quite far, but when we tried the medium some of the rough velcro was exposed against her skin. If she was a male the large might be too long, as it comes nearly to back legs, so depending on your dog you may need to get a smaller size and just cover any exposed velcro. Luckily, Thundershirt has a good return policy.Our Red Heeler has no problem with storms or noises, but she has constant energy and physically can not sit still. She’s 9 and still wears us out! When we put the Thundershirt on her, she is completely calm. We are realizing that energy was more of an anxious/nervous energy, and she seems to get overstimulated. Sometimes she will just sit there barking at us because we aren’t doing what she wants, or aren’t in the right place (may be a herding dog thing). With her shirt on she will sweetly lay with her head in our laps and take a nap, which has never happened. I would never have thought to get her a shirt for nervous energy since she didn’t show anxiety triggers, but now I am recommending it to everyone! It helps calm her down when she is overstimulated and helps us not go crazy. We’ve had it for a couple of weeks and we are still in shock every single time because the change is unbelievable.I chose the sport version because I did not want the dogs to overheat, especially since anxiety causes our Boston to be hotter anyway. It has a bit of stretch and breathes, and it is very well made. When you have the proper size it is designed to not have any of the hook side of the Velcro against their skin. I especially love the extra flap on top for tightening. I looked at other anxiety shirts and reviews said how hard they were to get on since you just had one shot to get it correct. With this, I loosely fasten around their neck just so it doesn’t fall off, then I align and velcro the shirt together under the chest/stomach. The flap allows me to then adjust and make it more snug after it is already secured, rather than wrestling with pulling the fabric correctly and keeping it in the right place. Finally, I redo the neck, making sure it sits low on the chest and isn’t too tight.I HIGHLY recommend this for any dogs that have that nervous energy or get overstimulated, that is where it has been most effective for us. I do suggest it for more “typical” anxieties as well, it has helped cut out the anxious pacing and shaking, but it’s not a miracle cure (at least for us) that makes them immune to those triggers. Definitely worth trying, we are kicking ourselves for not getting one years ago!

Excellent Thunder Jacket
I didnât think anything would help our dog make it through thunderstorms. We rescued her almost 5 years ago when she was about 3 1/2, and she is a very anxious Husky/German Shepherd. She has always been so inconsolable during thunderstorms and fireworks that we would have to medicate her. We tried everything from prescribed meds to dog-safe CBD, but we hated all the effects it had on her, and she did too. This Thunder jacket was our last hope, and it works!!It arrived the day before a series of severe storms (thunderstorms, extremely high winds, and hail) hit our area – 3 weeks of storms at about 3 storms per week. This jacket worked the first time we put it on her. She acts as though she feels immobilized because she will just stand until we help her on the couch and help her lay next to one of us. We sit and pat her, and her breathing is more relaxed than it would be during a storm although you can tell she is still scared; however, she isnât anxiously running around, trying to climb the walls. She isnât panting like crazy. She will actually lay there and sometimes fall asleep. Itâs amazing!The quality is very good. Nicely stitched. Good quality material. It isnât heavy or hot. Itâs super easy to put on. You can easily adjust how tight it is around their body and chest to make it comfortable and soothing at their preferred level. Easily washable. I 100% recommend this to calm an anxious dog.

Calms and it was easy to put on
Living with Arizona monsoons is hard when you are an 11 pound wuss! His Thundershirt (mostly) does the trick. It tooks just a short while to get him used to the process of putting it on and taking it off because he is not a fan of the velco. The tips on using it were great, and we used the “feeding treats from the Thundershirt trick. It worked like a charm. We had a window-rattling storm last night, and Frankie slept through most of it! I like that the fabric seems substantial ( more like a quilted blanket than a cheap tee shirt). It is the only thing we use to calm him down.

Awesome – Tested – True
I have an exuberant 70 lb American Husky/Canadian Inuit three year old doggie. He has an eye condition and requires daily multiple eye drops as well as frequent eye-vet visits. His eyes are responding super well to meds – thankfully! I was tired of “crocodile wrestling” with him to get the drops in – i wanted a better way. I put this ThunderShirt (Sport) on before his eye vet visit today and he was much calmer, even though we didn’t have time to squeeze in a walk beforehand and had a significant wait to see the doc. Impressed with the results, we then went to see his regular vet to get new RX for heartguard and blood testing. He mingled with the staff in a nice, pleasant way (he didn’t knock anyone over!). Everyone mentioned he was much calmer. We had a ThunderShirt before when he was younger – the regular one. We LOVE the Sports version (fabric much nicer with air holes). Feels nice, looks great (platnium and orange). Best of all – it works! He will only wear it to vet visits and whilst i give him his meds (AM/PM). Too tight otherwise (may impede his breathing/overheat summer). We’re both happy! TY!

Works great on my dog. Just enough to settle her down a bit. Nicely made

Es excelente el producto, mi perrita sufre mucho con los cuetes y con la lluvia cuando hay truenos, y esto le ayuda muchÃsimo. Incluso compré un segundo chaleco de repuesto por si este se rompe y se pierde. Lo recomiendo muchÃsimo. Es caro pero vale cada centavo.

I purchased this my in laws dog as the past couple of years she has really struggled with fireworks. The night I purchased it she was a nervous wreck, shaking, pacing and crying. They were really concerned for her.I ordered this and they put it on her the following night. They said even though the fireworks were worse than the night before she was much calmer and even had a nap. She wore it every evening until the end of the bonfire celebrations and there was a big difference to before she had the jacket.She is an overweight lab and had size XL
