Thundershirt Polo

The better alternative to medication. Treating anxiety with medication is often not appropriate. Sedatives can help in extreme cases, but they usually need to be administered long before the anxiety attack and can have lingering effects afterward. Daily medication can be expensive and carries the risk of unwanted side effects. Thundershirt is effective and has already helped hundreds of dogs. There is no risk of side effects, and it requires little to no time commitment from the dog owner. The patented design of the Thundershirt applies gentle, constant pressure to the dog’s torso, and this pressure has a dramatic calming effect on most dogs. The application of pressure has been successfully used for years to alleviate chronic anxiety. Examples include swaddling infants. People with autism use pressure to reduce persistent anxiety. Veterinarians use pressure to calm livestock before vaccinations. Dog trainers use pressure to alleviate various forms of anxiety.
