It’s no surprise that animals in shelters suffer from anxiety. Through their donation program, Thundershirt is working to help as many of these animals as possible to relax, which can help them be themselves and lead to getting their forever homes with people that will love them and take care of them.

Thundershirt is a company that provides several different products for dogs and cats, but their main mission is to help relieve anxiety. It’s estimated that over 30% of dogs and cats suffer from anxiety, which can lead to some negative behaviors. By helping to calm them with the Thundershirt, which is effective in 82% of cases, those behaviors can disappear.

Many times, an animal in a shelter who has problems with anxiety will have a hard time being adopted, if they ever are. By providing them with a Thundershirt to ease their fears, it gives them a much better chance at being adopted by a family and being able to live a normal, happy life. Anxiety often hides an animal’s true personality which is what keeps people from wanting to adopt them.

The Thundershirt is by far their most popular product. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit every size of dog, from tiny Chihuahuas up to giant Great Danes. You can also get it in different colors and patterns. A woman who saw a complete change in her dog after getting one said, “I am totally amazed and thankful for ThunderShirt.”

Another popular product is the no-pull Thunderleash. This innovative leash attaches to the collar like usual then wraps around your dog’s chest so that as soon as they start to pull, they feel the pressure and stop, making your walks much easier and enjoyable for both of you. According to one woman who used to get walked by her 80-pound Labrador, “It changed everything! She no longer pulls and walking is no longer painful for her or me.”

There are two ways that Thundershirt is giving back to the pet community and working hard to help animals in shelters relax so they can go to good homes. They not only directly donate some of their profits to rescue groups, but they also donate Thundershirts to help animals in shelters and rescues. All the organization has to do is send in a request form through their website and Thundershirt will provide them with the size they need for the animal that needs it.

If you have a dog or cat that suffers from anxiety caused by loud noises, vet visits, or anything at all, try a Thundershirt. It will not only help your own pet to relax, but your purchase will help animals that don’t have a home, too. If you know someone that has a pet that could use this, be sure to share this information with them to get the word out about this great product that’s doing a lot of good in the pet community to help animals in shelters.
