Default anxious dog
Our Jack Russell "terror" received a thunderwrap as a gift, and I couldn't be more pleased. Scooter will let us know if it's raining in Eustis!

Medication worked if it was raining, but thunder or lightning made our poor animal an anxious, bug-eyed nut job. It made you feel bad just to see her have a melt down.

My sister told us about an article from the Wall Street Journal about these anxiety shirts and then got one for Scooter. It worked!!!!! When a storm is approaching, she still gets medication, but also gets the shirt put on her and it's truly made a difference.....she's much calmer and will now sleep during rain. Scooter is still aware of thunder and lightning, but can now handle it in a calm relaxed manner.

Thanks to whomever invented the anxiety shirt for dogs.
