Rated 5 out of 5by Nicole87 This worked so well!! We just rescued a puppy and she was so hyper and anxious, this jacket was worth every penny. Our little girl is so much calmer and content when she puts it on. Highly recommend. 07/13/2016 |
Rated 3 out of 5by Sofiesmom Sizeing accurate , made well Does not seem to work for my dog , but still working on it . Was supposed to be embroidered eith her name, it did not.
The product seems well made , slightly pricey , but worth it if it worked , which for me so far has not. Because it did not work for my dog I cannot recommend this as I have no basis. 07/07/2016 |
Rated 2 out of 5by AnimalloverNot as advertisedI just received the Thundershirt, but it was not monogrammed as advertised. I could have purchased it locally, but did not because I could get it monogrammed here. Monogramming isn't that big of a deal, but I will probably return it because you should get what was advertised and promised. I haven't tried it yet, so can't comment on its effectiveness. 05/18/2016 |

Rated 4 out of 5by Judy4This product really helped.I was skeptical after hearing about this product but I was desperate to try something to help my dog during thunderstorms. I have been able to test it on my dog now twice and I am really pleased that it truly helped. She was much calmer and not whimpering or running around. I am starting to spread the word. 04/30/2014 |
Rated 5 out of 5by DarkeyedgirlWe found her THUNDERBUDDY!!!First off, 1 our dogs hate thunder and loud noises, so we always joked they had each other as 'Thunderbuddies' when storms rolled in here in the Midwest. Anyhoo our newest dog RIPLEY, age 3, has a history of ALLERGIES and chewing herself!!!! She gets allergies in the autumn, and she will literally chew a hole on her leg and she almost chewed off a n!pple! She had this weird fungal thing as a puppy and has LOTS of scar tissue - it's this scar tissue that bugs her when the allergies kick in. SO I googled "thundershirt and allergies".... read some testimonials... and that very day bought the Thundershirt #size small, perfect for our 25 pound girl#. I tell you what I am a BELIEVER in this shirt! She actually WANTS to put this shirt on - and this is a dog who has the weirdest, most wirey thick fur you've ever seen. She'd just been shaved & bathed to help with those allergies, and the Vet said to give 25mg of Benedryl per day... but.... the bath & Benedryl were NOT stopping Ripley from chewing her legs and n!pple. SO... enter the Thundershirt.... I gave her a treat off of the shirt like it says, and put the shirt on her; three easy Velcro-straps later, Ripley was CALM... she just kinda laid there in a non-neurotic way - rare for her; she is the epitome of ADHD/Neurotic-dog - ... slept and was calm and NO CHEWING. It's been a week, and we keep the Thundershirt on Ripley every night - she sleeps with us, and she USED TO mess around on the bed and bite herself or just be neurotic; no more. She sleeps soundly through the night and has the best happy-content-dog look on her face. The shirt is very sturdy - it's put up with one of our equally neurotic cats trying to nest in it ... you know how cats do that kneading thing, he has claws and has been making beds on her shirt the last few days... maybe he needs one!... Methinks this will be a lifelong thing for Ripley, once this shirt wears out, we WILL buy another one. It has TOTALLY helped with her allergies and her aloofness. One note: She will NOT eliminate with this shirt on... she CAN because the dog's nethers are totally open and free; we tried to walk her and have her eliminate with the shirt on, she refused... I guess she fears getting it dirty? We LOVE our Thunderbuddy!!!! 10/09/2013 |
Rated 2 out of 5by cjk1983Didn't workMy yorkie didn't mind wearing it, but it didn't keep her from freaking out during storms. I have heard it worked for a friends dog though, so maybe my Suzy is just beyond help for her phobia. 07/15/2013 |
Rated 5 out of 5by CanidbiologistLasting cure for thunder storm anxiety.I was given a thundershirt by my mother in law after the death of her Belgian Shepherd Dog that suffered from storm anxiety. I was skeptical of how effective it would be on my Plott hound that suffers from extreme anxiety associated with thunder or other loud noises. In addition, I have a beagle mix that gets anxious over ANYTHING but especially storms. The first storm that hit my Plott hound was pacing, panting, whining, and barking. I put the Thundershirt on her and she immediately stopped and stood there frozen as if she could not move. After a few minutes of slow movement she lay down on her bed to rest and soon fell asleep while the thunderstorm continued. I have never seen such a dramatic transformation. We used the shirt on the Plott hound 2-3 more times and then I tried it on the beagle mix with the same result as before. The beagle is a more silent sufferer(lots of pacing) thus the results were not quite as dramatic but the pacing stopped and she lay down and rested throughout the storm. The amazing part was that the Plott hound had no reaction to the storm without the Thundershirt. The Plott will now go out and frolic in a rain storm and if it becomes severe (lots of thunder) she will come back to the porch but is only minimally dramatic about the thunder. The beagle mix is still generally anxious but her reaction to storms is greatly reduced without the Thundershirt. Any time we have a stressful situation for one of our dogs we know we can break out the Thundershirt for instant results. My only regret is that we did not capture the first application on video the transformation was so dramatic that I truly cannot express it in words. 07/04/2013 |
Rated 5 out of 5by DebraECan't believe I got this wonderful product embroideredOur wheaten loves this shirt. She can get nervous when we have bad weather and when I put this on she is her usual self and not distressed. Her name on the shirt is a really nice touch and I could not find this option on any other site. Thanks PetCareRx, love your company. 12/11/2012 |
