Thundershirt

Hi Does anyone used the Thundershirt? My 5yr old Vizsla Blue was very anxious today with the Thunder, and I was wondering if the Thundershirt would help in the future.

One of my whippets is terrified of thunder and fireworks so we have a undershirt for her. However she gets so hot and pants so much that I don't put it on her anymore.

She has a bolt hole( a large walk in cupboard about 5' square which has no Windows) and she spent 3 hours in there this morning with loud music (" Bad Company" today). Often I have to sit in there with her too. I also give her Valerian compound which helps a lot.

Thanks. We have given Blue Valerian compound too during the fireworks season, the trouble is you don't really know when the thunder is going to come. I don't think he would mind being hot as he loves to be cosy lol
