Thundershirt

Have you heard of the Thundershirt??

Over a year ago, after we took a family trip with my mom, we discovered that Petunia DOES NOT like to be left alone in unfamailiar spaces. We learned this the hard way after we tried to leave Petunia in the hotel room alone while we went to dinner. More on that trip in another post...

Shortly after that trip my mom told me about a product called the Thundershirt that she saw advertised in a magazine. As you can see on there website, www.thundershirt.com, the Thundershirt uses gentle, constant pressure to calm your dog, effectively aiding anxiety, fearfulness, barking and more. I looked at their website but wasn't convinced enough to purchase the shirt.

However, this past weekend, I noticed the Thundershirt on display at our local pet store. I was intrigued...and became even more excited to see that not only did they have it in Pink...they also had it in X-Large. I decided to give it a shot and purchase it for Petunia!

I love when I find things that are pink in Petunia's size...so girlie...

So far we have only tried the Thundershirt a few times. We put it on her before walks and it seemed to calm her down a little-it kept her from jumping up with excitement when trying to put the leash on her. I will post again with more updates on the Thundershirt once we have used it a few more times. We'll let you know what we think and if we recommend it :)
