by the way what is a Thundershirt? |
Here's a great thread about the Thundershirt.

I have own two, one for Bogey who uses it for thunder. It works the best if I put it on his before the storms start and give him a dose of Rescue Remedy. He use to shake, pant and pace about whenever it stormed. When he has the thundershirt on he will sleep at me feet (which is unusual for him since he's usually on my lap if I'm sitting) but he is totally calm. The other thundershirt I bought because Pebbles barks for the fireworks around the 4th of July. It worked for her as well.
If you try it alone and there is still some fear I would absolutely recommend adding the Rescue Remedy. Neither worked alone for Bogey but together is sure did the trick
The only complaint that I have about it is that their long hair gets caught in the velcro. To fix this I now put a little T-shirt on before putting the Thundershirt on them.
When they first came out it was a mail order only business. But now they can be purchases at Petco and Petsmart for the same price as they sell for on the website. They are 100% guranteed or your money back. I would highly recommend that you give it a try. It worked wonders for both my dogs. With a return policy like they have there its a win/win situation.
