“The Meriden Humane Society in CT would like to thank Thunder Shirt for their generous donation of thunder shirts to use on our shelter animals! We LOVE these shirts and the calmness they provide to our animals is such a blessing as we LOVE our animals and want them to feel as comforted as possible while they are with us awaiting their forever homes. Their anxiety levels have been cut by 95% because of these wonderful “hugging” shirts that are always hugging them when we can’t be ourselves! We look forward to having enough thunder shirts to give to ALL our animals to make them more comfortable in our ‘home-like’ setting we provide. God Bless and again, SO MANY THANKS!! Our paws surely do appreciate your kindness!!

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the thundershirts. I immediately placed the XS Thundershirt on one of our very scared, timid, undersocialized chihuahuas (Vanessa) at our shelter. Before the shirt, she was very nervous, cowards, and submissive. Since putting the shirt on she came out of her shell. She is approaching people with confidence and she is becoming one social little butterfly. We saw IMMEDIATE changes in her once placing the shirt on her. Thank you for supporting shelters and rescues! Becuase of your generous donation, you allowed a once nervous dog to be more confident and hopefully adopted soon.”

“The Thundershirt is one of the best products ever invented. It has changed Katie’s life and mine – For the better! She sleeps through storms and fireworks. I have been able to substitute her Thundershirt for sedatives! Again, we cannot thank you enough for this wonderful product!”

“Wet Nose was invited to come to the Trenton Thunder Ball game this past Monday to be a part of the Dog of the Day. We elected to bring Patrick a 9 month old Shepherd mix who has been in foster care for almost 3 months now. Patrick is a fairly nervous, high energy boy so we started using a Thundershirt on him soon after we received our donation. Patrick arrived at the ballpark wearing his shirt and although he was still a little nervous, which was to be expected in this situation he definitely was better able to handle the night with his Thundershirt, to the extent he was able to respond to commands and walk the bases on the field with no problem.”

“Today (1/7/12) Jason got a new Thundershirt to try out. For any of you that have met Jason, you know what an anxious boy he is! He is so desperate for love and attention that he often jumps up and muzzle-punches our faces, all while barking/crying like crazy. I blocked his run mates outside while I put his Thundershirt on him for the first time, which was quite a struggle as he was jumping and rolling all over the place. Once it was securely on him though, he sat down and started to just slowly hum a bit. As I stood up to let his run mates back inside, he decided to lie down and stop humming entirely. When I turned around after letting the others in, he was already sound asleep on his bed. It was quite amazing to see! Hopefully his Thundershirt will continue to ease his anxiety!”
“Enzo is a dog with lots of anxieties. The Thundershirt, along with Drama Trauma from Black Wing Farms is tremendously comforting to Enzo during thunderstorms. Enzo’s caregivers report that when there is a storm approaching, Enzo will come inside and “ask” for his Thundershirt and Drama Trauma to be put on! In January of 2012, we started using the Thundershirt and Calm Balm by Black Wing Farms to help Enzo become more comfortable in the car, as well as visiting new places. Our hope is that soon Enzo will be comfortable enough to go on outings and sleepovers with volunteers who visit the Sanctuary.”
“I am using a Thundershirt on Dru to help reduce her reactivity to other dogs and people. She has a bite history with other dogs, as well as people. We currently have only two people at Best Friends who can handle her. She really seems to like the Thundershirt (okay, she doesn’t mind it!) and I do see a decrease in her reactivity when she has the Thundershirt on. This past week Dru had to have blood drawn twice in one hour, so I put her Thundershirt on her, as well as Black Wing Farms Lavendar balm and they both really seemed to help keep her calm!”
“Current weather conditions here: Stormy and rainy… I recently purchased two, one for my personal Labrador, rescued a few years ago, who has had a horrific fear of rain, and debilitating with thunder; resulting in hiding under the table, couch, or wherever she could. Her Thundershirt put on today, in the rain and stormy weather has her laying in an open relaxed manner on the couch.
The other is for a 95lb Mastiff in our rescue who has managed to break through chain link fence playpens, crates of various makers, and most recently a KONG crate. Now with her Thundershirt on, shes sleeping like a baby in her crate.”
