I use the Thundershirt for Bogey for storms. Prior to purchasing the Thundershirt we tried Rescue Remedy and also Anxitane. The RR did nothing to help him and the Anxitane helped with car ride and walks but not storms.
The Thundershirt didn't totally cure Bogey's anxiety but it did considerably reduce it to the point that the Rescue Remedy now works very well.
My best results are when I put the TS on him well in advance of the storms. Then I will give him a dose of the RR when I start to hear the thunder.
His anxiety went from panting and pacing from room to room with no intervention.
With the TS he would shake during large claps of thunder and the panting was considerably reduced.
With the TS and RR he will actually lay at my feet and sleep.
*Normally he is a big cuddlebug and loves to sleep and sit on my lap. For some reason he wants nothing to do with my lap but will curl up at my feet.
