My daughter's dog Zoey(a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) wears her thundershirt in the car as she is a very anxious traveller. It has helped greatly and the whining and howling has also stopped.

I read about these and tried wrapping my bassett in an ace wrap one day when she was driving me nuts because of the storms. She did seem calmer I had forgotten till I read this post, off to order one now!

I had a rescued german shepherd that was terrified of that kind of stuff too.....nothing seemed to help except sittin in the floor with her, holding her......bet that might have been good for her too......lost her a few years ago with a massive stroke.

I foster Shar Pei and Thunder Shirts are recommended for a variety of anxiety and separation issues

I bought the shirt a couple of months ago,and I'm disappointed.. It did not work for Socrates.. I'm going to continue using it with the hope that it will work.. I have been using Benadryl, which calms him a bit.. and I've been trying to distract, and exhaust him by playing We have been having some wicked storms.. The concept of the shirt makes sense..

Helps with separation anxiety, does it? That's something I would like to try on my dog. She's ok with noises, thunder, vacuum, etc., but let me walk outside for the mail and I come back to a panting anxious dog. I can't even weed the front yard with only a door in between us where she can see me completely!
