After reading about the Thundershirt from
Oskar and checking out more reviews, we finally found a shop that sells it. The Thundershirt supposedly helps calm dogs during fearful situations such as during a thunderstorm or fireworks. The monsoon season is about to arrive AND we expect fireworks during the end of Ramadan so we thought we'll get one for Whisky (she is terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks).
So we brought her to the shop to get the right fit. She's in between the XS and S so the instruction said to get the smaller size which we did. It needs to be snug for it to be effective. As Whisky is used to wearing a baby tshirt to sleep, she didn't object to the Thundershirt.
That night, it rained with thunder and lightning and amazingly, Whisky didn't shiver nor did she paw to be carried. She followed me around, looking worried but not terrified. :) Now, we can't wait for the fireworks to see if it helps her too.
