| I need help with sizing, not sure if I need a xsmall or a small. I measured Chase as 17, and my boyfriend measured him as 16. He is about 14lbs. After the thunderstorms we had last night, I need to get him one! |

| Gonna Try It I'm sold. I'm getting one for Sydney. She is scared during thunderstorms and fireworks. I feel so bad for her. She does the shaking and crawls into a dark corner or under the bed. And now that it's in pink...well...how can I resist. lol I'm hoping I get the sizing right. When there's a storm coming, I'll post a review. |

| Looking it over, I think I'm getting the xxs. Sydney is just under 7 lbs. Also, I'm getting the gray instead of the pink--it's cheaper--boo. From what I've read here, xxs sounds right. I'm ordering it off of Amazon, so if it doesn't fit, I know I can exchange it. Thank you for starting this thread! |

| I'm tempted to try one of these out when we go to Gettysburg this year. He was REALLY super scared last year when the fireworks went off (even though we were in our room, we could still hear them). So it'd be nice to have him relax a little bit. I'm going to wait until it's closer to the 4th of July, though.

| Anyone know which size I should get? He is so close to being too big for one and too small for the other |

| Cooper's girth is about 17". I bought the xs and it fits really snug so i also bought the small. The small is absolutely enormous on him and there's no way he could wear it so I returned it. Max is even a little bigger and the small devoured him.

| I had never heard of the "Thundershirt" before reading this post. As soon as I was done reading it, I went to Amazon and ordered one for Miki. Sure hope I ordered the right size.... Can't wait to get it. I love this site, everytime I'm on it, I learn something! |

| Huh... I wonder if Jackson would need an XS or a Small then? I was all thinking small but if the point of the Thundershirt is to be snug... now I'm not sure. Last time I measured, his girth was like 17.5" but I haven't measured in a while. He's a skinny 16lbs.

| WOW! I just ordered the Thundershirt yesterday on Amazon with free shipping and it came this afternoon! The xxs fits Sydney (just under 7 lbs.) great. She is wearing it now. We have snow in our forecast, not a thunderstorm, so I will have to wait on reporting how well it actually works. Amazon.com: Thundershirt Dog Anxiety Treatment -... |

| My Harley only weighs 3 1/2 pounds. Will the xxs be too big for him?? I think I will get one for him as he has terrible seperation anxiety as well as fear of any loud noises. My pug is 16 pounds and is kinda portly around the middle. What size should I get for her. She is terrified of storms. I know it is going to storm before it even starts. She begins to whine, pant, pace and whine an hour before anything starts. Nothing calms her down. Christy- Mommy to Harley-Yorkie, Gracie-pug. |
