FAQs

How long can my dog wear the Thundershirt?

The Thundershirt is safe to leave on for extended periods when appropriate for the situation. However, it is recommended to remove it every one to two hours initially to check for irritation points. After confirming no irritation points, remove it at least twice a day for thirty minutes.

What if my dog doesn't like wearing the Thundershirt?

Introduce the Thundershirt gradually. Let your dog get used to it by simply having it near them at first. Then, put it on for short periods, and reward them with treats or praise.

Can I use the Thundershirt with other calming aids?

Yes, the Thundershirt can be used with other calming aids, such as Adaptil products, or as advised by your veterinarian.

How do I measure my dog for the correct size?

Measure your dog's chest circumference. Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer for the best fit.

Can the Thundershirt be used on puppies?

Yes, the Thundershirt can be used on puppies, but make sure to monitor the fit as they grow.

What if my dog chews the Thundershirt?

Supervise your dog when wearing the Thundershirt. If your dog is prone to chewing, it may not be suitable for unsupervised wear. Inspect the Thundershirt regularly for any damage.

Troubleshooting
