Top Amazon Reviews


  • Seems to be working. Issues with Amazon's sizing - in review.
Size: XS Color: Heather Grey
OK - currently I'm rating this 4 stars, but I may come back and change this depending on how things continue to go. For some background - I have a chihuahua mix who is deeply attached to me. He has issues with separation anxiety and a hyper-aggressiveness toward other dogs, particularly large dogs. If he so much as sees a dog or anything else that may be threatening (a person walking by or a noise downstairs) he will start barking as ferociously as a chihuahua can bark. It's problematic for me because he is an agility dog and I have to constantly be aware that he may try to attack the dogs near me at any moment he feels like they're encroaching on his territory (namely, me). I've done obedience training with him since he was 10 weeks old and he's a SUPER well behaved dog aside from these issues. After researching online, I came to realize that he may be suffering from some form of anxiety, which is causing him to act out because he feels threatened. Thus, I came upon the Thundershirt. I'm really not the type of person to purchase items that seem gimmicky, and admittedly, this shirt screams gimmick. However, with nearly 600 reviews on Amazon and a 4.5 star rating, I had to try it. Anything is worth trying if it will remedy a big issue in my dog's life. I don't want him to feel like he has to protect me all the time as that causes undue stress. So, after receiving the shirt, I opened the box and was greeted with a very cute plastic packaging for the shirt. Almost like a manilla envelope except see-through. The shirt was very well made and soft to the touch..but I was more concerned with testing it out rather than inspecting the intricacies of how it was made. I put it on my dog after taking a moment to think about the logic behind the velcro straps and it fit him nice and snug. I ordered an extra small - my dog is about 8 lbs but very lanky and it fit him perfectly. I opted to go with the sizing on the Thundershirt website vs. the Amazon website as I've been burned by Amazon having improper sizing info in the past. I was debating on an XXS vs. a XS. For example - on Amazon an XXS states: Size XXS for dogs less that 12 pounds and with a chese size of 9" - 13.5" Whereas the Thundershirt website states: Size Chest Size Weight XXS 9"-13.5" < 7 lbs. That's a HUGE difference. So I highly recommend using Thundershirt sizing to decide on which is best for your dog. ----------------------------------- Here is the complete chart: Size Chest Size Weight XXS 9"-13.5" < 7 lbs. XS 13"-18" 8-14 lbs. S 16"-23" 15-25 lbs. M 18"-26" 26-40 lbs. L 24"-32" 41-64 lbs. XL 31"-40" 65-110 lbs. XXL 38"-50" > 110 lbs. ----------------------------------- OK so regarding the efficiency of this shirt. I tested it outdoors with my dog on our front driveway just absorbing the sounds and sights of a normal neighborhood. My dog laid out in the sun and didn't seem reactive to much, whereas he normally would be. A neighbor walked their dog relatively near us, and my dog barked a little but he didn't run after the dog despite not being on a leash. Usually he won't leave my side but it can be unpredictable when it comes to dogs. The next day I took him out again and this time I forgot to put the shirt on. He was more on edge, and when a neighbor brought out their little dog, my dog went crazy and went running up to their dog barking. I grabbed him and took him straight inside. The next day, I tried it with the shirt again. This time children came running by, other dogs, etc. and he didn't move.. he actually just lay on his side and didn't react much. He might give a little bark here and there, but no where near his normal level of intensity. I tried his shirt during his advanced obedience training. He's in a class with all large dogs and the first day (without the shirt)he was shaking and just terrified. He would bark everytime the other dogs seemed to be a safe enough distance away, and wouldn't perform anything in front of the class since he was so scared. (sometimes I think my dog is bipolar). The second day of class (with the shirt) he was way more calm and less scared of the other dogs. We walked by 3 large dogs and he didn't make a peep. He performed in front of the class and was just more mellow overall, although he is still shakey and seems scared. I gave it 4 stars because I DO see improvement in my dog and it has only been about a week or so. However, I feel that although it takes the edge off him, I don't feel like the videos they post showing miraculous changes just by putting on the shirt are accurate. Perhaps there are dogs that this effect will happen, but I would consider it a rarity rather than the norm. I would have preferred more accurate marketing that really stresses the need to do behavioral modification in addition to the shirt. They do mention this, but its very brief compared to the marketing showing it as a miracle shirt. And after reading so many reviews, it seems I'm not alone in this shirt being part of a process rather than a fix. Overall, I recommend it and I'm going to try it with my friend's dog who is VERY hyper and see if it solves any issues with him. EDIT: The shirt worked miraculously on my friend's dog. The dog is high strung, paces, jumps up on people and overall just "starving" for attention. Won't let you pet any other dogs and has to be the center of attention constantly, which wears my friend out. We put the shirt on him and he just calmed down completely to normal dog levels. He lay down, relaxed.. yet, when the other dogs wanted to play, he still had energy to play. I played fetch with my dog in front of him and he just lay down and watched and didn't have the urge to go get the ball himself, which he normally would do. We took the shirt off him to see if maybe he was just in a mellow mood and he immediately got hyper and started pacing everywhere again. She's going to be buying one of these shirts because it made such a big difference in how he behaved. ... show more

  • Calms autistic German shepherd dog
Size: XL Color: Heather Grey
Calms my autistic GSD. She’s a spaz all day displays OCD behavior. We have been doing direct 1 on 1s with another certified animal behavioral specialist since 8weeks…because she was doing weird things then. I’ve trained GSDs, Belgian Malinois and various shepherds (and other breeds) for decades ut she swings between fear agression and dominant agression so it’s more complex. It’s calming to her to be gently straddled so I figured a Thundershirt would be ideal. She dropped her obsessions by 40% instantly. We wear it more often than not until we can wean her off it. If that’s possible. She enjoys it now and comes over when it’s bubble time to get suited up. She’s a quirky critter for sure but this truly calms her and lessons the severity, duration and frequency of nervous reactivity she displays. Ultimately giving her more quality of life. She runs and walks 5miles a day, has jobs, does nose / brain activity work for 12 hours and loves it. She was not able to do these things she loves before training and the help of this shirt. She looks like a racing greyhound a bit. Doesn’t get too itch either and she’s hyper sensitive to that. I make sure the Velcro is flattened comfortably as you would want it if it were on your body. She can pee/poo with it on, she can go in the water, but I wouldn’t recommend that. It washes easily enough with her dog bedding and toys in the washer. Great product. She was on the cusp of 65 lbs and I got the large. I should have gotten the medium because she’s slight at 8mos. Her anxiety and exercises keep her at the lower percentile. So take build into consideration if you’re on the cusp of weight / sizes. Buy it. It’s like wizardry ! ... show more

  • Fantastic purchase but was a return
Size: Small Color: Heather Grey
I obviously got a return from a previous customer because the box was torn open and re-closed and it had dog hair present on the vest. It must not had fit their dog appropriately, but it fit mine perfectly. Aside from the presence of other dog hair, both my fur baby and I are happy with this purchase quality and fit. ... show more

  • Thundershirts for dogs
Size: XS Color: Heather Grey
The Thundershirts do work as advertised. It's just that my dogs may need veterinary medication :/ One drawback... I did not order the pheromone that goes with the shirt until much later. When that comes I may see a greater change. As it is now...at least I can get their attention when they are wearing the shirts. My dogs are Pomeranian/Maltese cross and EVERYTHING makes them anxious. ... show more
