Cure for the Fear of Fireworks

If the sound of exploding fireworks rock Fido's world a little more than he (and you) would like, then you need to check out the Thundershirt. For dogs and cats with fearful reactions to fireworks, thunderstorms, travel and more, the Thundershirt can give them practically instant relief.

It's a proven fact that gentle pressure (think of a swaddled newborn, Dr. Temple Grandin's findings with autism, and Ttouch) can induce calm in people and animals by possibly releasing a hormone like endorphins. The calming effects of gentle, constant, cuddling pressure can give your dog or cat a drug-free sense of well-being that, combined with your positive reinforcement, can help them overcome their fears.
