THE MAKER OF THUNDERSHIRTS says 80 percent of dogs who wear them experience relief from fear of thunder, separation and travel anxiety, hyperactivity, leash pulling and more.
Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue has received a grant of Thundershirts — innovative jackets its inventor says uses gentle pressure to calm dogs and ease their anxiety.
The company has partnered with the Petfinder.com Foundation to donate Thundershirts to adoption organizations across the country.
The goal of the grant program is to reduce the stress and anxiety in shelter dogs, in turn making them more adoptable and better able to find their “forever homes,” officials said.
The company says that, 80 percent of dogs who wear Thundershirts experience relief from fear of thunder, separation and travel anxiety, hyperactivity, leash pulling and more.
“Since Thundershirt was founded in 2009, we’ve been committed to supporting animal shelters and rescue groups nationwide,” said Phil Blizzard, founder of Thundershirt Company.
