This Shirt Works Like a Wonderful Charm!!!
I have an eight-month old toy poodle.She has a very calm, laid-back nature, until she has to ride in a car. Then she shakes, drools excessively, and sometimes vomits, even on very short rides. My vet prescribed an anti-nausea/anti-anxiety medication, and it did help with the vomiting. However, it had to be administered at least two hours before a car ride, and it was not inexpensive. I read a non-fiction book recently called Travels With Casey, about a man who takes a cross-country trip in an RV with his Lab. Casey freaked out during thunderstorms, which is really bad when on the road, so his owner bought him a “Thunder-shirt”. First night on the road:thunder and lightning. With his shirt on, Casey didn’t even flinch. I was impressed, so I looked up “Thunder-shirts” on Amazon. Actual Thunder-shirt was a bit pricey at $50+ for a six pound puppy, and I’ll admit, I was still a bit skeptical about the whole concept. I found the “Mellow Shirt”, and the very first reviewer said it calmed her dog to the point of no drooling, no shaking, and no vomiting! This item was also cheaper. After reading many reviews about the Mellow Shirt helping with anxiety about fireworks, separation, and car rides, I decided it was worth a try. When I received it, I let April wear it around the house for a while, because I did not want her to immediately associate it with the car. It fit her perfectly and she actually seemed to enjoy having it on. Ok, after a couple of hours, the test: a car ride of about four miles. My April was a different puppy; for the first time ever she sat up, looked around, even wagged her tail. No drooling, no vomiting, 0 anxiety!!! I have taken her on increasingly longer rides, all with the same result! This simple concept of a hug from a shirt is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion!

Works nicely
I live on the southeast coast of the US, and we had a storm recently that brought rumbling thunder with it for a full week. Thank goodness I had just previously bitten the bullet to buy a thunder shirt for our spotted mutt, Moon. Moon shakes, shivers, and tries to get under the bed when it thunders. It makes me feel so sorry to helplessly witness her adrenaline-pumped fear. The shirt is a simpler affair than I imagined it would be–just a quite simple, slightly stretchy t-shirt-like material with a velcro fasten, but after practicing wrapping her up like a snug burrito a few times, I got the knack and it’s a piece of cake. At first, she just stands there as if frozen in place, but after a minute or two she realizes that yes, she is fully free to move, sit, stretch out & lay down and it really does make her more mellow and content. Only wish I’d purchased one of these sooner.

Great for most dogs
A bought one of these for my old dog and it was perfect. However, my new dog chews through it almost instantly. If you donât have a big chewer I highly recommend giving it a try.

It works!
My little 6 lb yorkie trembles every time she hears thunder. For Florida summers, that is just about every day. And don’t even get me started about 4th of July and New Years Eve fireworks (and celebratory gun fire grrrrrr!). My sister had purchased Izzy an off-brand (Urubaby) of thunder calming vest which was very helpful, so I decided to get a second one so that I would have one available when the other was being washed. Well the one she purchased is no longer available, so I decided to try this one. This one is a little thinner, a little less stretch (but enough), and a bit shorter, but it gets the job done. I like the way this one goes on better than the other, I just wish it had a little more stretch and was a little longer.Now for those of you hesitating to buy this, thinking you have to shell out more cash and purchase the “as seen on tv” version. I suggest trying the less expensive option first, then if you think you need to upgrade, you always have a spare. For my dog, this is not an all and all cure to the situation, however, it is very helpful and the only other alternative is to get a prescription from the vet and I am no good with that. As for Izzy’s opinion, when we start hearing the thunder, if she can see her vest, she will stand there and bark at it. When I pick it up, she get very excited and can’t wait for me to put it on her. Once on, it is like someone had given her a shot of Dutch courage, and she struts around and kicks backwards like she is kicking dirt, as though she is ready for a fight.

Slowly but Surely it is Making it Much Better…
My mother’s dog has developed a serious fear of thunderstorms. She’s never liked loud noises but now that she is 12, for some reason thunderstorms terrify her. Mom and I were talking about this new thing with her dog recently and it’s bad enough that if the storm happens at night, Mom has to sit up with the dog and comfort her.The vet recommended my parents get a Thunder shirt for the dog to try and soothe her during the storms. I saw this calming wrap on here and decided to order it first to see if it works for their dog.The size is accurate to the measurements. Mom measured her dog and told me what to get and that’s exactly what I bought. It is easy to get on and off and her dog seems to be comfortable in it. She’s not rubbing against the floor or the furniture when wearing the shirt. It stays secure with velcro. The construction is nice, they did use high quality materials when they made this.I talk to Mom almost every day and after the first storm rolled in, I asked her how well this shirt worked. She said it helped. There have been a few thunderstorms since and from what I am being told, the dog is getting better with the anxiety (howling, panting, pacing, trying to get under furniture) behavior each time. It’s a nightmare for my mother that is slowly but surely getting better with the use of this shirt.It’s not an instant fix, at least with my mother’s dog it wasn’t, but our experience with their older dog is that it does help and the anxiety decreases each time she wears this wrap shirt during a thunderstorm.
