Question

How does a ThunderShirt work for a dog?

I have a dog who gets scared when it's storming out and I've seen those ThunderShirts advertised that say the Thundershirt can keep the dog calm during Thunderstorms?

Does the ThunderShirt really work? If it works how does the ThunderShirt actually work to keep the dog calm during a thunderstorm?

Answer 1

The Thundershirt works by applying gentle but constant pressure to the dogs torso which helps to relieve anxiety in dogs.

Applying constant pressure to a dogs torso has been used to relieve anxiety for many years and that's how the Thundershirt works.

A ThunderShirt can also be used on cats to relieve anxiety too.
