Great for those constant Texas thunderstorms!
I was skeptical, how in the world is a piece of cloth wrapped around my dog going to help? I still don't know how, but it definitely does work! My Golden Retriever became scared of thunder in his old age, he started pacing and panting constantly during thunderstorms, and tried to wedge himself under the bed. A friend of mine said this worked great for her beagle so I thought I'd give it a try since the price was right. With the first use my dog stopped pacing and panting. He even went outside in the yard (in a thunderstorm!) to do his business--I was shocked! He now starts to wag his tail when I pull this out of the closet to put it on him, he loves it! My only complaint/suggestion is make sure you measure your dog first--this is almost too small for him despite carefully measuring. I secure the two straps with the minimal amount of velcro possible to ensure it is long enough to wrap around him. The problem is, the exposed velcro is now completely covered with his long, fine hair and it's impossible to get out. Not a huge deal since there is still enough useable velcro to keep it in place. Also you have to leave the neck strap quite loose for them to be able to lay their head down. When I first put it on him I made sure it was tight, but noticed when he laid down he wouldn't lay his head down--he tried but kept lifting it back up and it finally occurred to me that the neck strap was too tight. Once I loosened it a bit he was good to go! All in all this is a great product, I would highly recommend for anxious pups!!
