Our 10lb. 11 year old maltese mix is also scared. He used to be terrified but now just wants to stay close, shakes not as much and sometimes pants. I’ve heard about the coats recently too and years ago I would have tried one. Even before the storm comes he knows it and will go to a spot in the kitchen corner were he never goes and lays down if I am nearby. Since your dog is a rescue I would definitely try the coat.
Yup..I ordered one..there were lots of positive comments here, and the 45 day unconditional return policy is very fair. Here in Florida, this time of the year, we get a thunderstorm just about every afternoon/evening..so I’ll have a real good “test”..
