My poor Chihuahuas, Grace and Rocky both have a crippling
fear of thunderstorms. Grace goes
and hides under the covers of my bed everytime she hears it, or she tries to
jump into my arms no matter what I’m doing. Rocky will hide behind the couch, or if it’s late at night
and he’s sleeping on the couch while I’m in bed upstairs, he comes in, and
wakes me up by crying and fidgeting around up by my neck.
As a doggy mom I feel so bad that there’s nothing more I can
do to make him feel better. But
now there is. The Thundershirt is seriously a life
saver. It comes in all different sizes and it wraps around your pop and then
velcroes shut to help them feel very secure. The pressure has an amazing effect on them! Over 80% of dogs show improvement,
without needing expensive medication from the vet! I can fit mine on both Rocky AND Grace. It’s not just great for storms but also
crate training, separation anxiety, leash pulling, hyper activity, and even
fear of fireworks!

It didn’t take Rocky and Grace more than 5 minutes to get
used to wearing it. They love it
now and they can both move around just fine in it. It’s amazing
and so easy to put on them and easy to take off. I am so glad I got to try this out because I get so stressed
everytime there’s a storm and now I can actually sleep through the night!!
