Tabonga | 2,718 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Our rough collie Jack gets terrified by thunder, high winds or firecrackers. Even after the noise stops he is freaked out for quite awhile - if the noise keeps up (like on the 4th ofJuly) we have a doggie downer which, while it calms him down, makes him like a zombie - which I really don't like to see. Mrs.Tabonga read about these on the net (they go by different names) and we thought we would try it. We ordered one - it started thundering just now and Jack went into his frightened mode. We put it on him and he settled down right away - he was panting heavily a bit but he is now lying down at my feet and seems pretty normal. They are very easy to put on - and it beats having to drug him. This is the one we got for him: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FHTIH94/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Heh - he is now sleeping - which never happens right after he has been scared.

Link | 2,974 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I’m gonna tell my neighborhood dog owners about this. A lot of them are having trouble with the fireworks. Thanks.

Scrobins | 1,950 Moderator · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 My folks were too cheap to buy thunder coats, so they made a couple of their own with old pillow cases, foam stuffing, and a lot of duct tape. Our dogs looked incredibly stupid...but chill. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/4123-thunder-jacket-it-works/#findComment-90582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
