So, a dog calming shirt is just that. It is a shirt that your dog or dogs can wear to help calm an upset or anxious dog. The shirts provide a gentle hugging sensation which creates the same kind of mechanism that works for calming babies when you swaddle them. Experts say that the pressure from the shirt is probably hitting certain acupressure points that helps release certain soothing chemicals in the body like endorphins which effects the nervous system and thus results in a calming effect.
Based on the research and the surveys that over two thousand people have completed on these shirts it is said that these shirts work on over eighty (80%) percent of dogs and cats that it is used on. That is a huge amount and a great improvement for any dog or cat that is anxious for any reason. Now, based on what I have read and heard from users, don't think that you can throw one of these on your dog during a severe thunderstorm and expect that the dog is just going to lie down and go to sleep. That is not likely to happen, especially with a very anxious or fearful animal. Results will vary depending on the animal but most dogs will experience a general calming of their symptoms.
With the great reviews and results that people are having with these shirts, it is well worth the time to check out a dog calming shirt for any dog that you are having a problem with when it comes to them being very anxious.
