Thundershirt alternatives

tk123

Has anybody used any of the other anxiety vests/shirts? Bailey is between thundershirts sizes lol - large has gotten too small and barely closes but XL is way too big :rolleyes: We'd use the shirt throughout the year and sometimes for vet visits etc - it's kind of a given with him that he may need to spend the day in the vets for xrays at some stage throughout the year and we'd use the vest then or halloween/new years/something going on in town when there's fireworks going off.

I've seen Karma Wraps in MaxiZoo but don't know anyone who has one?

Would something like this help with your existing shirt?

I ended up with this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anxiety-Wrap-Size-Large-Chest/dp/B00LJ3172W/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1445597276&sr=1-1&keywords=anxiety+wrap+large after you and DBB recommended a body wrap on my thread about her nighttime anxiety. It's been brilliant. It's worked wonders on her travel sickness too.

No it's too small at the front AND at the belly lol! In fairness we have it 4 years! Good idea though.

Haven't used a karma wrap but was playing with one today on display (as you do!) and they seem quite stretchy compared to the thunder shirt, might be worth bringing him down to a maxi zoo and trying one on to see if it suits him!

Yeah I had a feel of one and they do seem more stretchy. Only thing is they're €20 cheaper online. I always feel bold trying stuff out in store and then buying online

I use a motorcyclists' kidney belt. I don't use it often but it works on a labrador.

Picked up a Karma Wrap earlier!
