Description
Thundershirt for dogs is a jacket that has a calming effect with fear of fireworks, thunderstorms, (car)travelling and staying alone at home. The Thundershirt fits closely to the body of your dog, which causes a constant, gentle pressure on your dog’s body. This constant pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system of your dog and thereby reduces the anxiety. The effect of the Thundershirt is similar to swaddling an infant.
The Thundershirt has proven to be very effective at different forms of anxiety in dogs. Recent research by Dr. Temple Grandin has shown that the Thundershirt not only reduces fear signals such as tongue-flicking and yawning, but it also lowers the heart rate. In addition, a survey among 2,000 customers has shown that 80% of the dogs improves significant when wearing a Thundershirt. Meanwhile the Thundershirt helps millions of dogs all over the world and it is recommended by many vets.

Positieve ervaring met Thundershirt
Our Ukrainian foundling is usually very afraid of fireworks. That’s why this year we bought the thundershirt. Together with the adaptil diffuser (which helped a bit last year), we got through New Year’s Eve quite well this year.
It seems to contribute to more comfort on these kinds of days… and it looked cute on her.
Shirt and Adaptil were delivered very quickly.
