Yes to thundershirt
Love the thundershirt. There is a very obvious difference in our pup when it's on. He's more relaxed, less pacing.
We seeked out a rescue pit bull and he would become very stressed when I left the house as well as pacing around. This was still during our "trial run" and he was not bonded to us quite yet. We wanted to make it work with him so we bought the thundershirt and calming treats. Prior to shirt he broke out of crate several times, destroyed our window blinds and would cry. Post shirt he relaxes most times except when it's play time and work time (walking). He's bonded to us now and he's doing great. When he's not wearing it he seems a little more anxious. He likes the shirt as he stands still waiting for me to Velcro him in. We take it off every day for awhile so his coat can breath.
I'll be purchasing a second so we can rotate to wash regularly. Plus I think he'll look good in teal green :)
Bonus feature is they make him appear might more approachable. His ears were "cropped" (poorly, with scissors) and he's very large with a big block white head. The thundershirt makes him look as friendly and sweet as he is.
