Thundershirts – to help relieve anxiety in dogs

One of my readers has suggested the use of a Thundershirt to help a traumatised/stressed dog. I’d never heard of them so googled the word. Here’s a link to one firm for more information.

    I think it would be great when the manufacturer would donate a piece of this product for example to Scooby or FBM (FBM has especially many dogs with anxiety so I heard).
    If it really works one of the associations would be a superb reference. And of course a donated item would help the work of the association, too.
    It would be a great deal for each party!

    What an excellent suggestion. Maybe you could organise it?

    Tunde) as you might know the thundershirt cannot be worn constantly and with so many dogs as Scooby has or FBM I doubt they have the time and people to take it off at intervall as needed, whereas small rescues might have better results.
    I have friends with galgos and the thundershirt did help them to be calm and more secure.
    Please be a little more confiedent.

    I have been told that a close fitting child’s t-shirt works just as well
