FAQs

How do I measure my dog for the Thundershirt?

Measure the circumference of your dog's chest, typically the widest part, just behind the front legs. Then, consult the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer.

Can I leave the Thundershirt on my dog all day?

While the Thundershirt can be worn for extended periods, it is generally recommended to remove it periodically to allow your dog to relax without it. Always monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort.

How often should I wash the Thundershirt?

Wash the Thundershirt as needed, usually after a few uses, or if it becomes soiled. Follow the washing instructions on the care label.

Can I use the Thundershirt for puppies?

Yes, the Thundershirt can be used for puppies, but ensure you select the appropriate size and introduce it gradually.

Does the Thundershirt replace medication?

The Thundershirt is a drug-free option for calming dogs. It may not be a complete solution for severe anxiety and may work best in combination with other treatments or under the guidance of a veterinarian.

My dog is still anxious while wearing the Thundershirt. What should I do?

Ensure the fit is correct. Consider pairing the Thundershirt with positive reinforcement training or other calming techniques. If the anxiety persists, consult with a veterinarian or a certified dog behaviorist for further guidance.

Is the Thundershirt suitable for all breeds?

Yes, the Thundershirt is available in various sizes to fit most dog breeds. However, always measure your dog to ensure the correct size.

Troubleshooting

The Thundershirt doesn't seem to be working.

Ensure the Thundershirt fits properly and that it's snug but not too tight. Consider gradually introducing your dog to wearing the Thundershirt. If the anxiety is severe, consult with a veterinarian or a certified dog behaviorist.

My dog is trying to take the Thundershirt off.

Ensure the fit is correct and not causing discomfort. Distract your dog with treats or toys when they're wearing the Thundershirt to create positive associations.

The Thundershirt is too small or too large.

Double-check the sizing chart and measure your dog again. Exchange for the correct size.
