CalmWrap — Anxiety Vest for Dogs

Bonfire Night, and he's behind the sofa shaking. There is nothing you can say that he understands.

The panting, the drooling, the scratching at the door, the dog who won't come out from under the bed for three hours. You sit with him, you talk to him, you turn the telly up — and none of it reaches him, because the fear isn't a thought he can be reasoned out of. It's his body reacting.

CalmWrap talks to the body instead.

It's a snug vest that applies gentle, constant pressure across his chest and torso — the same principle as swaddling an infant, or the weighted blanket you might use yourself. Sustained pressure triggers a calming response through the nervous system. No medication, no sedative, nothing he has to swallow.

Why it works

🐾 Constant, even pressure — not restraint — it should be snug, like a firm hug. He can walk, lie down and drink normally while wearing it.

⚡ For fireworks, thunder, travel and separation — the four triggers that account for most canine panic. Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve are the obvious ones; car journeys and the vet are the quiet ones.

🧵 Breathable polyester, all seasons — light enough that he isn't overheating on top of being frightened.

👕 Seven sizes, XS to XXXL — fit is the whole mechanism here. Too loose and there's no pressure; too tight and he fights it.

Size guide — measure before you order

Chest circumference is the measurement that matters. Take it around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Weight is a cross-check, not the deciding number.

XS — chest 33–43cm · neck 27–33cm · back 30cm · 3–5kg
S — chest 40–48cm · neck 31–36cm · back 35cm · 5–8kg
M — chest 45–54cm · neck 35–41cm · back 40cm · 7.5–11kg
L — chest 50–60cm · neck 39–45cm · back 45cm · 10–15kg
XL — chest 56–68cm · neck 42–48cm · back 50cm · 13–20kg
XXL — chest 65–78cm · neck 45–51cm · back 55cm · 20–30kg
XXXL — chest 78–90cm · neck 48–54cm · back 60cm · 30–40kg

If he falls between two sizes, take the larger one.

Use it before the fear, not during

Put it on twenty to thirty minutes before the fireworks start, not once he's already panicking — a frightened dog associates whatever happens next with the fear itself. Let him wear it around the house a few times first, with treats, so it's just a familiar jumper by the time he needs it.

What actually changes

He comes out from under the bed. The shaking eases instead of building. And you stop spending the fifth of November feeling useless in your own front room.

Get it before the season, not during it. 🐾
