   The Mellow Shirt has made me a happy pet owner during heavy storms and fireworks. My dog used to freak out to the extent he sometimes hurting himself. When wearing the Mellow Shirt he is calm and settled. And, he seems to love the shirt! I have actually bought him this shirt in 2 different colors. I no longer worry if my dog will be safe during a storm. The shirt can be worn for up to 10 hours at a time. I am extremely pleased with my purchase! I can honestly say, "It is the Perfect shirt for calming my dog!"

   I'm very happy I purchased this shirt for my dog. The day it came, we had a bad wind storm, so I wrapped it around him and he stopped barking and running around from room-to-room. In fact, for the longest time, he stood in the kitchen like a statue...sometimes closing his eyes. He finally went and laid down on his bed for an hour. I think he felt comforted like the description said. This is going to come in handy for my first road trip with the little guy who can't seem to calm down and sleep the whole way. Hopefully, this will change that for him!

   I was skeptical about buying this for my dog. She’s pace the house nearly all day. But I took a leap of faith and got it. I put it on her shortly after it was delivered. Within half hour she was laying down on the couch. I was amazed,but still skeptical. But the next day no pacing and chillin on the bed and couch. Although it didn’t do much for her vet visit but that was ok. Our vet was pleased that I got it for her. I highly recommend get this. It may not work right away but give it a little time for your dog to adjust to it. It well worth the cost.

   This little shirt fits my little girl perfectly and she LOVES it. Lulu is VERY frightened of thunder storms, but this shirt has eliminated her anxiety during storms and was a Godsend on the 4th of July! This is the second one I have bought for her so she has a back-up. We call the Mellow Shirt her Jammies. When I ask her, "do you want to put your jimmies on?", she jumps right up onto the bed and does this! Anyone who owns a dog who has anxiety should try this shirt! It is light weight so it won't overheat your dog, and gives a nice smooth fit. It is also about 2/3 the price of the Thunder Shirt!

   I have a four year old make English Bull Terrier who recently started to have general anxiety issues. He would just sit there and shake, never seemed relaxed, and getting him to eat was a chore. As soon as I put this on him he stretched out on the floor and for the first time in months just relaxed (pictured). It is wonderful having his old self back. I used to work at a pet store that sold the Thundershirt and to be honest I like this wrap better. The material is stretchier and softer. My guy is around 60lbs but is on the thinner side and could have done with a medium, but the large will work fine.

   I’ve used this shirt for our dog consistantly for three days running. I put it on her after her morning food and water, and leave it on all day until before bed. She doesn’t sleep in it if course. Today she laid quietly in her favorite spot in the livingroom while my two young grandchildren played a few feet away and my daughters dog walked in and out of the room; she was bothered by none of that. This is amazing. Previously we had to keep her in a separate room all day so she didn’t react to the commotion in my busy household. I’m buying a couple more shirts in other colors! This is a win for all of us.

   Bought an xxs for our recently adopted 6 lb, 2 year old Yorkie. His original owner passed away and he was suffering from severe anxiety, biting and very possessive of his toys, causing issues with our other dogs. Made a few minor changes in pack dynamics and purchased this Mellow Shirt. It was like someone flipped a switch. He's turned into a snuggle bug. He looks forward to having his shirt put on in the mornings. I encourage you to purchase this shirt if you have an anxious pet. The only complaint I have is that the fabric is like a t-shirt, very light weight and pills easily. I can tell we'll go through several a year.

   Our dog was very anxious after being the old baby in the house, to us getting another dog when we found out we were expecting to bring a human baby into the mix. After being raise with at least 3 or 4 trips to the dog park and two walks per day to basically nothing for the first year our son was around our lab took it pretty hard and chewed a patch of hair on his back off. We used the thunder shirt as a barrier but I think the "hugging" sensation also helped him too. Happily, after changing up his diet and changing our schedules to prioritize our pup's physical needs he is much better and his coat is full and healthy again!

   I have a 10 yr old chihuahua who is petrified of thunder and especially fireworks. Last year was even worse than the year before for her so I decided to try this shirt out. Wow! She didn't shake, convulse, pace uncontrollably or panic. She was as calm as could be and actually slept. When I first received the shirt I laughed because it looked and felt just like a t-shirt, but, it did way more than that. It actually hugged her body perfectly. Anyways, I highly recommend. Especially if you aren't sure if something like this will work for your dog. It's $20 cheaper than the original "thundershirt" and it did what it was supposed to do

   My 10 lb. doxie has a disc dislocated in the middle of his back. He was in so much pain that he kept his tail between his legs and his ears down. If he was lifted he would cry out in pain. His veterinarian (my daughter) said he had to be kenneled for complete rest and she put him on medication. He was hurting so bad that I wanted to do something more and thought about a brace. We decided to use the thunder jacket and purchased this one. He is now exercising by walking the hall, he has his tail out and wagging, even his ears are back up. He will still need acupuncture and physical therapy but at least he feels better while he’s recovering.
