Is it to help with firework anxiety anne? I haven't used the t-shirt but I have used the wrap and it was remarkable. http://www.mekuti.co.uk/bodywraps.htm One of my dogs is terrified of fireworks even if they are miles off in the distance. If an open fire makes a slight crackle she is a quivering wreck for an hour. The body wrap is pretty much just a crepe bandage...

Hi anne and pasta,

I was wondering if you had any luck with the body wraps over firework season?

Hi shivvy....unfortunately Sally was not one of the lucky ones. I got the mekuti...and it seemed promising. Until I was out with her one evening,and fireworks went off...and she bolted. That was with just a few bangs.
I also tried a Valerian spray...which helped a bit indoors...though it acted like catnip for one of my cats!
Think its a thundershirt next. Poor Sally will continue to suffer over the coming weeks and the build up to New Years.

shivvy

Aw I'm sorry to hear that pasta. Poor Sally. I really hope the shirt works for her.

So do I shivvy. It hurts me to see her so stressed out...night after night. I sometimes think she's become programmed in her doggy brain to anticipate,and is scared before it even starts.
