When thundershirts first hit the store shelves earlier this year I was interested but skeptical. My heart goes out to my canine patients who spend a significant part of their summer hiding and cowering due to fear of thunderstorms and fireworks. Until now my best option for helping them has been sedatives and anti-anxiety medications. While helpful for many dogs, they are still drugs and carry the potential for side effects. I first became aware of the thundershirt from a veterinary class mate of mine who had great success. With the money back guarantee we felt safe to "give it a try." One of our first patients to try the thundershirt was Filbert, an energetic beagle mix, owned by Laura, a client care representative at the clinic.  We expected to see improvement but were surprised by how much. He no longer cowers in the bathroom. He goes about his normal activities as if there were no storms going on.

Since then we have had dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages try it with great success. It has an 80% success rate and results are fast. The best part is the money back guarantee. Just return it with in 45 days of purchase for a complete refund. It doesn't get any better than this.

Check out Filbert's video taken during a morning thunderstorm to see for yourself. If you have any further questions stop in or call, we love talking about them.
