I have heard great things about the Thundershirt so decided to give one a go. Although named Thundershirt, they are aimed at helping dogs with various anxieties in addition to fear of thunder, as you can see on the above link.
I am not wishing for a thunder storm by any means but thought it would be good to get one ahead of fireworks time as one of my dogs hates fireworks. Someone (that’s the polite version) was letting the things off one light and sunny summer evening a little while ago as we were out walking and terrified my dog. He’s still wary on the walk, even weeks later
Aside from the intended reduction in anxiety, they look rather cute too
You can buy them in the UK – mine came (very quickly!) from Doorstep Paws. I’ll update later on in the year after we’ve endured evenings of loud bangs!
