🐶 THUNDERSHIRT , FOR WHOM?
It could help in the following cases:
- Stress-related barking
- Loud noises: thunderstorms, fireworks, cars
- Staying home alone
- Trips
- Visits to the vet
- Training sessions
- Reactivity
- Fear
- Anxiety
- High stress levels
- If your dog has difficulty being left home alone: destruction, barking, crying...
- If your dog is afraid of loud noises: storms, fireworks, firecrackers...
- If your dog shows signs of fear or stress at home when there are visitors
Although these emotional problems are the most common, there are others not listed that this tool could help with.
Specifically, all those emotional problems that involve high levels of stress such as:
- Fights at home
- Frustrations on the walk
- Impulsivity problems
- Overstimulating environments
- and for cases of eustress (stress caused by emotions of positive valence)
❗️❗️ IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
We must warn you that this tool is ONLY a support for emotional management therapies or therapies for adapting to a new environment.
It is in no way a substitute for any of the core therapies, and if there are no specific guidelines for the dog, the ThunderShirt will not solve anything for us.
It's simply a good support tool that we know helps, but it's by no means "magic." 🧙
How do I put it on my dog?
0- First, be positive with rewards so that he/she starts to put his/her mind to it without forcing it.
1- Place the vest on the dog's back and secure the band around the neck
2- Wrap your torso with the side flaps
3- Adjust the top flap to a comfortable position
How long can my dog wear the ThunderShirt vest?
They can be worn for extended periods of time. However, keep in mind the following recommendations: We recommend removing the ThunderShirt vest every one or two hours for the first few times. Skin irritation or other problems are very rare; however, it's always best to be cautious. Remove the ThunderShirt vest at least twice a day if you wear it for extended periods.
Are there any special size and fit considerations for male dogs?
When placing the ThunderShirt on a male dog, the straps around the stomach area should not cover or press against the genitals. If the ThunderShirt rubs against the genitals, it may cause irritation. If you see any signs of this, remove the ThunderShirt immediately. Try a smaller size or contact us for other suggestions.
