Stress: The Medical Pet Shirt reduces stress and anxiety, particularly after a traumatic event such as surgery. The first time you use the Medical Pet Shirt, we recommend closely watching your pet's behaviour. Sometimes, you may have to adjust the vest. We recommend staying with your pet when you first put the vest on, and to play with your dog and distract it, so that it can slowly get used to the vest.
