ThunderShirt Instructions

Step 1

We recommend using the ThunderShirt for the first time when your dog is NOT anxious so they can get used to the snug feeling in a calm comforting setting

Step 2

Attached to the main body you will find 2 chest straps, 1 long flap, 1 short flap & 1 top flap

Step 3

Place the main body of shirt along the back of the dog

Step 4

Wrap chest straps gently around the dog’s neck. These straps are just to hold the ThunderShirt in place so there shouldn’t be any pressure here.

Step 5

Wrap the long flap under torso & secure with short flap to make a secure short fit

Step 6

Wrap top flap down onto long flap & secure with the fasteners. Adjust if needed to improve the snug fit – not too tight just comfortable pressure

Important Safety Information

The first time your pet wears their ThunderShirt, remove every 1–2 hours to check for irritation.

The ThunderShirt is safe to wear for extended periods, however, it is recommended to remove the ThunderShirt twice daily for 30 minutes.
