What’s sadder than a dog wearing a cone?

With our Great Pyrenees', we had trouble with the CBD dosing. Sometimes one unit would knock them out. Sometimes 4 units later they'd still be running around being nervous wrecks. 

Now we just use vet prescribed Gabapentin+Trazodone. Works very well for fireworks. 

Our Shepherd Stella Does this thing whenever anyone is in the  water = they're drowning and need to be rescued.  Quite problematic when we live on a lake... so now if we have a big party or lots of people over, we also do the GabaTrazadone elixir.  It doesn't totally snooker her, but her desire to rescue is much more subdued and safer for all parties.  You think you are a good swimmer?  Try treading water with an 80lb dog on your back clawing and gumming you because she thinks you're in trouble, haha.

Our 65Lb emotional potato of a pit has the exact same vest. It works! Any thunder or fireworks and shes a shaky mess. Put on the "big girl vest" and shes not as shaky and is OK with just hiding or gluing herself to your leg.

I didn’t expect the ThunderShirt to work as well as it does–yet it does. She’s better if we can get the vest on before the thunder/fireworks get really loud.
