Noooo I don't want to be wrong

Maybe you should get both sizes? They were really good about my return. The XS fits like sausage casing but the Small was enormous.

Louies Mom · 05-01-2011, 07:55 PM

Louie tends to have an issue with the sausage look in most XS, yet S is enourmous on him! He has a super long muscular body and weighs in at 7.9 lbs in comparison to my moms 3.13 lb Leo

TikiandNiki · 05-02-2011, 03:39 AM

Good idea...I'll put in another order for an XS just in case the S is too big, which it sounds like it will be. Thanks so much for your informative input

I just ordered one for our Lab/Shepard mix who has separation anxiety. I'm hoping it works for him.

AllDogBoots · 05-02-2011, 11:13 AM

Gosh, I should have ordered them wholesale before posting

I hope everyone comes back and updates their experiences. I'm still so amazed by this silly little shirt.

I think I've posted at least part of my review but I have to tell you the latest. I got Beemer the thundershirt to help him overcome his fear of our trianing facility. He has made more progress in the three weeks since we got it than the five months since the incident. The amazing thing was really last week though. I live in North Alabama. We had a very rough day last week. It started at 4:30 in the morning on the 27th. That was the beginning of the tornado warnings where we live. I had Beemer's shirt and put it on him. He curled up and fell asleep. Sadie was pacing and barking. I took the shirt off of Beemer and put it on Sadie. She immediately curled up and went back to sleep. Beemer started pacing and shaking. We were blown away. Whichever dog had on the shirt was totally comfortable. My husband said that we should be in a commercial! We had a break in the weather (or so I thought) so I went to work for a while. I made some phone calls and found another shirt locally. I bought it between storms on my way home from work - ironically a tornado warning hit while I was on the way home. With both dogs in their shirts they were as calm as could be throughout the unbelievable night we had. There were multiple warnings, huge storms, hail and no power. My husband and I decided we want a shirt for us!!! I can't tell you how much I believe in these little shirts. Oh - and Beemer weighs just shy of four pounds and Sadie is 5 1/2 and the XXS fits both of them perfect.

I would have posted sooner but power just came back late last night so the only YT access I've had is my phone.

This is amazing, Karen. I am so glad that all of you are okay, and I'm also so happy to hear that Beemer is overcoming his fear.

Use this discount coupon code and get $5.95 OFF the total price:

" RD343 "...there is a box to the left on the check out page where you put in this code....might as well save some $$$$

Was wondering if you could tell me what site you ordered from that offered this discount?
Thanks!

Good luck!!

I meant to also post an update. Cooper is scared of the lawnmowever. But, not with his thundershirt!

Schooby · 05-11-2011, 05:18 PM

I want mine so bad!!!! We are having storms later tonight, and we had one the night before last that wasn't too bad, but Chase was shaking soooo bad. It seems to get worse every time, and takes him longer to recover after the storms

I got am email yesterday, and the store that I ordered it from is trying to track one down for me. I guess Thundershirt is really overwhelmed with all the orders, and they won't be sending mine out until early June. I hope she is able to find one somewhere else!

Where did you order from? It's not acceptable to wait that long. Go to Thundershirt | The Best Dog Anxiety Treatment and order one and cancel from the vendor where you originally purchased.

Britster · 05-11-2011, 05:46 PM

I'm going to wait until June to place our order for the Thundershirt. We are going away July 1-4 in Gettysburg for 4th of July so I want to order it close enough to that date where it's still possible to return it IF it doesn't work. I'm thinking it will, but just want to be sure of course.

Fireworks REALLY stressed him out last year.

I wish I could order it ahead of time but I don't really know anywhere where fireworks will be going off until then... lol. So I really have no way of testing it.

Kirby · 05-12-2011, 03:25 PM

Okay I must admit, I had my doubts, but now I believe this thing does make a difference. We had boomers (t-storms) two nights in a row. While Sydney still went under the bed, she didn't shake and pace like she normally did. She also didn't sweat the small rumbles, as she normally would have in the past. The house-rattling ones still got her under the bed, though. I also give her treats when it thunders, which helps. Sydney is just under 7 lbs. I ordered her the xxs and it's perfect. I ordered through Amazon, got free Prime 2-day shipping and it actually came the next day. I recommend it. It's worth a try.

Thanks!

Sorry, just now seeing your question... I got the coupon code on a discount coupon web site (they have coupons for everything! ) and I ordered my Thundershirt direct from Thundershirt.com. They accepted the coupon and gave me a $5.95 discount on my order. It's always nice to get discounts
