It takes about 10 minutes for it to start working. She will then just lay down and go to sleep. |
That is so adorable, and a great endorsement of the shirt!
By the way, you might want to check out your local Petco for the shirts, ours started carrying them and of course, it’s easy to return if it doesn’t work with your dog. I really like the idea of using drops or pills with the shirts the first few times. There is a scientific reason why the shirts work; electric storms make the hair on the dog raise (similar to when the hairs on the back of your neck raise) this is a creepy feeling for them since they have so much hair. The shirt keeps this from happening.
