| thunder shirts Has anyone tried the thunder shirt and does it work? My newest rescue is terrified of thunder and even gets tense when it rains without thunder. AND does anyone on here make the equivalent? http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/images...523000_100.jpg |

| I put a tight sweater on him one night but the calming effect only lasted for about 1/2 hour. Unfortunately the thunder lasted most of the night! |

| I can attest that it works on Polo... w/o it he shakes... pants and hides in his bed... with it on... he is more confident than he normally is... walks around proud and tall... Some have not had luck with it.. but it works great for Polo!

| My sisters husky (a rather insecure dog) acted so different with it on, the "shirt was very well made and worth the $- in the big size anyway. When we first got Abby she was all over the place and when we put a little tight onsie shirt on her she calmed/ slowed down a lot. Guess it's like swaddling an infant...I was thinking of getting one to cut the girls nails. |

| My neighbor has one for each of her yorkies and she says they work. It's really something that is probably better purchased.
