anxiety wrap vs thundershirt? I'm thinking of getting my yorkie a thundershirt or an anxiety wrap and was wondering if anyone tried either of the products and could give me feedback!! Thanks!! |
I have thundershirts for both of my girls. They do seem calmer when I get them on before the storms start, though mine are more of the "bark at the thunder and lightning flashes" type than shaking out of fear when it comes to storms. I don't have any experience with the anxiety wrap, but I have heard that often dogs who don't respond to the thundershirt do to the anxiety wrap. They both have money back guarantees, so I always tell people considering them you have nothing to lose. :) |
I tried the thunder shirt with mine but didn't work for her. She goes crazy when it thunders. She barks and runs the house when it storms. |
The thunder shirt helps Pixie with her storm anxiety. I haven't tried the anxiety wrap. |
One summer when we had lots of thunderstorms and I bought the thundershirt for Callie and we used it all summer and it worked great. Then after the summer when we had a thunder storm I didn't put it on and she was not scared at all! The thindershirt fixed her :D She used to pace, pant, and shake badly. I know the thundershirt will let you return it if it doesn't work. We use it for fireworks too. |
Teddy does well in the Thundershirt during storms. If I put it on before the atmospheric pressure changes, he has no reaction to the storm. If I put it on after the storm hits, he reacts, but not as badly as if he had nothing. Then he needs the blankie on the couch. :) I have not heard of the anxiety wrap. I will have to look into it. |
Thanks for the imput guys! i ended up going with the anxiety wrap, its thinner and was on sale and has the money back guarantee so if it doesnt work for her i will try the thundershirt! Thanks again! |
https://anxietywrap.com/default.aspx I've used both products - Personally, I like the anxiety wrap better. It's not nearly as popular or as advertised as the Thundershirt, but I like that it fits behind their tail as well, and I find fits a bit better then the Thundershirt. The problem I've had with both brands is their smallest sizes doesn't fit a small Yorkie very well. Benjamin hated thunderstorms, and I had to make him something similar since at just under 3 lbs, nothing fit him! Lily's close to 6 lbs, so I'm hoping their smallest size actually fits her! Loud noises really spook her since she can't see what's going on, so I'm sure thunder, lighting, fireworks, etc are going to be really scary for her. |
