A snug hug against anxiety

The Thundershirt fits the bill as an inexpensive, easy-to-implement, natural way to treat anxiety in dogs. Boasting an 85% success rate, Thundershirt guarantees to soothe anxiety symptoms such as destructive behaviour, hiding, barking, panting, shaking, vomiting and even seizures.

Simply wrap the Thundershirt flaps around your dog’s torso and chest, securing them with Velcro for a snug but not restricting fit (you should still be able to slip your fingers between the Thundershirt and your dog). The constant pressure is designed to deliver a calming effect that alleviates Fido’s fear of fireworks, lightening, crate, noise, other dogs, separation, strangers, travel, or whatever it is that is causing the anxiety. $1 of every sale goes to a dog rescue group.

Available in adjustable XX-Small to XX-Large sizes for $36, and now featuring a sporty style, $41 at thundershirt.com
