I bought the Thunder Shirt from a local store last night. For me, it is a miracle shirt. We put the shirt on Buster in the store and he was immediately calm. He was like a normal dog, sat in my arms, while I walked around the store. The best part? was when we got in the car to go home. He did not lick the inside of the car, he did not pant, he did not yelp, he did not try to run around the car like a wild man. I could not believe it. He was still calm after we got home and I took the shirt off. I took him in the car again today, same thing. He looked out the window for a while, then went to sleep. No panting, no licking, no spazing. He has been taking Anxitane for about eight months with little success. The vet said my other option would be Amitriptlyne, I said no thanks. He is still a spaz at home, barks and yips at the vaccum, broom, almost anything, but maybe that will get better. He has only worn the shirt two times and both times were in the car. He is still recuperating from knee surgery, so he was in the stroller this morning while the three girls walked and he didnt seem to mind. He wasn't panting, trying to jump out, etc. He is not bothered by fireworks, thunder or loud noise so I did not know if the shirt would work for him. All I can say is, Unbelieveable.
