Based on surveys completed by over 1,000 Thundershirt users, over 85% of dogs show significant improvement in anxiety symptoms when using Thundershirt.
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.
