Product Description
The Thundershirt Coat is an innovative dog accessory, created to help our four-legged friends manage and overcome moments of anxiety. This coat is especially useful in stressful situations such as thunderstorms, fireworks, travel or any other event that may cause discomfort to your dog. Its effectiveness is given by the ability to exert light pressure on the animal's body, similar to a reassuring hug, which helps to calm the nervous system.
The design of the Thundershirt has been carefully studied to ensure maximum comfort: it is made of a soft, breathable, gray fabric, with a reflective strip to ensure visibility even in low light conditions. Ease of use is ensured by a closure system that allows you to put it on and take it off easily, without causing further stress to your dog.
The Thundershirt is available in different sizes to perfectly fit dogs of all sizes, thus ensuring the right pressure and maximum comfort. It is machine washable, making it practical and hygienic to maintain. Furthermore, it has been tested and recommended by expert veterinarians, who recognize its effectiveness as a non-pharmacological method for managing anxiety in dogs.
Benefits and Features
The Thundershirt Coat offers numerous benefits for anxious dogs. Its calming action is immediate and non-invasive, making it a safe alternative to medications. The high quality fabric ensures durability and resistance, even after numerous washes. Its ability to reduce stress is particularly useful in situations such as veterinary visits, training, travel and periods of solitude.
The coat is designed to be comfortable even in hot climates, up to 32°C, and its breathability prevents the dog from overheating. The reflective strip increases safety during night walks, while the variety of sizes available ensures a perfect fit for dogs of all sizes, from XS to XL.
The Thundershirt is easy to put on and can be used for extended periods without causing discomfort or restricting the dog's movement. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in multiple studies and anecdotes of satisfied owners, who have seen their dogs' quality of life significantly improve thanks to this simple but revolutionary product.
How to Use
Using the Thundershirt is extremely simple. The coat is put on in three quick steps: it is placed on the dog's back, wrapped around the body and secured with Velcro closures. No special training is necessary to accustom your dog to its use, and most animals show signs of relief after the first few minutes of use.
The Thundershirt can be worn for several hours, depending on the dog's needs and tolerance. It is important to monitor your pet's behavior during use to ensure that it does not experience discomfort or irritation. In case of doubts or to obtain advice on how to maximize the effectiveness of the product, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian.
For care, the Thundershirt can be washed cold in the washing machine, using a gentle cycle and without bleach. After washing, let it air dry to preserve its elasticity and shape.
Precautions and Safety
The Thundershirt has been designed with your dog's safety and well-being in mind. However, it is important to follow some precautions to ensure the best experience possible. Before using the coat for the first time, it is advisable to let the dog wear it for short periods, to allow him to get used to the sensation of pressure. Furthermore, it is essential to choose the correct size to avoid the coat being too tight or too loose.
Do not leave your dog unattended while wearing the Thundershirt, especially in the early stages of use. Make sure the coat does not restrict your dog's natural movements, such as breathing, barking, or moving freely. If there are signs of discomfort or if your dog tries to remove his coat, you should remove it immediately and consult a veterinarian to assess the suitability of the product for your pet.
Finally, the Thundershirt is not a substitute for behavioral management or the treatment of underlying medical conditions. If your dog's anxiety persists or worsens, it is important to seek professional assistance.
