The consistent bangs and bright, flashing lights of fireworks are stressful for many dogs.
ThunderShirt provides gentle, calming pressure around your dog’s torso, much like swaddling a baby.
This is proven to help soothe their anxiety when fireworks are happening.
CREATED BY A DOG LOVER
- 15 years ago, Phil, Dosi's pet parent, invented the first ThunderShirt prototype to help her relax during thunderstormes
- The original ThunderShirt was born. Pattented designed, validated by millions of dogs around the world!
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
Tested and approved by dogs and their parents
The effect of gentle pressure has been demonstrated in dogs diagnosed with an anxiety issue*. Dogs wearing ThunderShirt were more relaxed than those without ThunderShirt when left alone for 15 minutes in a new environment - their heart rate went up less and they showed less stress-related behaviours. This showed that the use of a pressure wrap can promote relaxation for dogs when facing challenging situations.
In a survey of dog parents**, 87% reported an improvement in their dog's reaction to loud noises, whilst 77% reported their dog had coped better when wearing ThunderShirt during time home alone.
