How It Works

With its patent-pending design, Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited. Based on surveys completed by over two thousand customers, over 80% of dogs show significant improvement in symptoms when using Thundershirt. Thundershirt is already helping tens of thousands of dogs around the world, and is recommended by thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers.

As for WHY Thundershirt’s gentle pressure works to calm a dog, experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been a common practice for years. For example:

TTouch dog trainers use pressure to address a wide variety of anxieties.
Veterinarians use pressure to relax cattle when they are administering vaccinations.
People with autism use pressure to relieve their persistent anxiety.
Children with certain behavioral problems use pressure shirts and weighted vests to relax and focus.
Parents use swaddling to calm an inconsolable newborn infant.

Until now, there just hasn’t been a well-designed, inexpensive pressure wrap commonly used for dog anxiety. Thundershirt is changing that! Thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers now recommend Thundershirts for their anxiety cases.

Here's a compilation of "Before & After" videos including thunder, barking, spinning, jumping, stranger reactivity, and travel.

Why does Thundershirt work?

Thundershirt’s patent-pending design is a pressure wrap that applies a gentle, constant pressure on a dog’s torso. From real world experience, we know with certainty that Thundershirt DOES WORK. That is why we are able to offer a money-back guarantee. A survey of Thundershirt users shows that over 85% of dogs show significant improvement in at least one anxiety symptom when using Thundershirt.

Until now, there just hasn’t been a well-designed, inexpensive pressure wrap commonly used for canine anxiety.

Thundershirt for dogs

Why doesn’t my vet know about this remedy for anxiety and fear issues?

Good question! With millions of dogs suffering from anxiety, it amazes us that such an easy to use, inexpensive solution like Thundershirt isn’t more widely known and used. Thundershirt is working to change that; we have launched an outreach campaign for veterinarians.

What training is required for using Thundershirt for anxiety and fear issues?

For many types of anixety… none! Just put Thundershirt onto your dog and you will likely see results with the very first usage. However, for some dogs, it may take two to three usages to see results. For some more serious anxiety cases, such as severe separation anxiety, you should consult a good trainer for how to integrate Thundershirt into a training program.

How long can I leave a Thundershirt on my dog?

Thundershirt is designed to be safe to leave on your dog for extended periods of time when appropriate for the situation or issue that you are addressing. Thundershirt is made out of light-weight, breathable fabric, so over-heating is very rarely an issue. It is typically safe to leave a dog unsupervised while wearing a Thundershirt.

Are there any special sizing and fit considerations for male dogs?

When fitting a Thundershirt on a male dog, the straps that go around the stomach area should not cover or push on the genitals or prepuce. If the Thundershirt rubs against the genitals or prepuce, irritation may result.

Is overheating a concern when using a Thundershirt?

Except in extreme conditions (e.g. 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the sun), overheating is not typically a concern when using a Thundershirt. Dogs cool themselves primarily through their mouths and paws, and a Thundershirt is constructed of a thin, breathable fabric. The state of Florida is one of our biggest markets. But if you feel that overheating might be a problem for your particular circumstance, please monitor your dog for any signs of overheating such as heavy panting or tongue hanging out of the mouth. Remove the Thundershirt if you see any signs of overheating.

Customer Testimonials

Wheelchair for dogs This is Gabby. He’s a Chihuahua we adopted from a shelter a few months back. He was due for euthanasia in two days’ time and he was just lying on his belly and looking up at us from his cage with big brown eyes. It was a totally adorable puppy dog face. Turned out he was injured in an accident, broke his spine and can’t use his back legs. His former owner didn’t pay the vet so the doctor gave him to the shelter. My heart just went out to him. So instead of getting a new pup as planned, we chose to take Gabby and give him a new home.

I got him a small Best Friend Mobility wheelchair as a welcome home present so now, he’s hardly ever in one place. It did take him a week’s time to get used to the dog wheelchair. We had to assist him and sort of re-train him how to walk, run, and pee and poop while using the wheelchair but after the initial awkwardness, he’s all legs and wheels.

The wheelchair is easy to adjust and fit Gabby just right. The frame is lightweight, even small Gabby has no trouble moving while strapped in it. The best part of this deal? I don’t have to carry Gabby outside or have him wear diapers when he has to do bathroom duty.

He keeps running around and sniffing things. He’s got this habit of smelling people’s shoes whenever we have guests come over and trotting over to them with his ball. He’s a cheerful dog, all ears and curious nose. He still has a happy spirit despite what happened to him and quickly took to being a part of a new family. I must say his Best Friend Mobility wheelchair plays a huge part in it. Gabby became a real goofball for someone so small.

It is a pleasure to have Gabby at home. So I thank you, Best Friend Mobility for giving my Gabby new hope.

- Gabby and Julie

dog wheelchairs My dog Nyko was gradually losing the use of his back legs for the last year of his life and was completely immobile for the last few weeks. I bought him a Best Friends Mobility doggie wheelchair and it was amazing! It was easy to get him into the chair, fit him perfectly, and the first time in it he took off running! Up and down hills, stairs, pavement and grass without a problem and with very minimal help from me. I will NEVER forget the twinkle of happiness I saw in his eyes when he was able to get up and get moving again. At 13+ years old his puppy spirit shone through and I could see and FEEL his joy and thankfulness. This is a really great product, worth every single penny, and I wholeheartedly would recommend Best Friends Mobility chairs. Thank you from me. Thank you from Nyko. You may never fully understand the difference you made, but it was HUGE.
