My 13 year old Golden has always had anxiety issues. Loud noises, bangs, thunderstorms, and fireworks would send him into a panic. He's gone through several windows in my house just to escape from the noise. It didn't matter if the window was open or closed, he'd go through it. We had a regular routine of putting the dog on tranquilizers when we expect bad storms or fireworks.
In the last year with his failing eyesight and hearing, the anxiety issues worsened. He wouldn't sleep through the night and would keep the wife and I awake for hours before he would calm down enough to fall back asleep. I was at my wits end. I wasn't about to medicate my dog every night so I could sleep. I was seriously thinking of putting the dog down.
While working a few weeks a go I heard one of the local DJ's talk about the Thundershirt for dogs. He mentioned that it took his anxiety ridden dog to one mellow pup. I was skeptical about it but decided to check it out. I read through the website and had some doubt but I was desperate to try anything. Reading further this $36 shirt had a 45 day, 100% money back guarantee. I figured what the hell and ordered one. If it didn't work in two weeks I'd ship it back and have my money returned.
It arrived a few days later and I immediately tried it on him. He was going through another anxiety ridden day and I figured it would be a good test. A minute after putting the thundershirt on him, the dog was acting like nothing was bothering him. I considered it a fluke but thought I'd let the dog wear it for awhile and monitor him. I kept it on him until the next morning. It was the first night in months that everyone slept through the night. The next night I put it on him and again, one mellow pup that slept like a baby. This has been going on now for 10 days and not one instance of anxiety during the night. This also has had an effect on him during the day. My son has put the shirt on the dog several times when the anxiety hits and the dog has mellowed out.
So far I'm sold on it. If this stops working in the next month I'll send it back. In the meantime I think it's the best $36 bucks I ever spent on this dog.
