Size Guide:
To get the most accurate size anxiety vest for your pet, measure the girth of their chest, around the widest part of your dog's torso right behind the front legs, with a cloth tape measure. Pull the cloth tape snug, but not tight. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, you can use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterwards. If your dog is in between sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size.

"will update review- seems good to go havent tried when the fireworks are going"
Posted byKosh Surnameon28th Oct 2024my pomchi has always liked when i picked him up and hugged him close to me, he would calm down from scary noises and seeing things he was unsure about. ive been thinking on this purchase for a while im glad it comes in a size that fits! he is an apparently an extra small dog and it's hard to find things to fit totally well. when things have an xs size im kinda sold! ive tried it on him and gave him tasty treats, then took it off and fed treats on top of it. i then put it in his crate with his bed and blanket. pressure seems to really help him like holding him against me like a baby, so im hopeful! he likes watching tv so maybe ill put on a show on guy fawkes and the bathroom fan. this is his 2nd guy fawkes and last time we used the adaptil collar. it did the job! he was a bit jumpy when an especially loud one went off but rebounded quickly from the fright. will update! its so soft and easy to put on, he doesnt like things going over his head so the front being 2 straps of velcroed cotton is great!
"It really works!"
Posted bySue Tayloron19th Dec 2022Bought this for my son's dog as he has panicked and run away so many times as he's scared of loud noises and people have been letting off fireworks for weeks in Christchurch to the extent he was shaking as soon as the sun went down. From the first time he wore the ThunderShirt, he settled into his bed and went to sleep and has done so every night since. It has been life changing for him. I definitely recommend the ThunderShirt and wish I had bought it earlier.

Posted byAveril Dykeon12th Dec 2022I find the service from Pet Direct excellent. I have recommended it on many occasions. The Thundershirt is great - calms my anxious dog when we leave the house and he has to stay home. Beautiful fit and easy to put on. Another great buy !
