I can honestly say that I purchased this cape on line about 5 years ago for a terrified,elderly, Collie, named Misty. After @ 3 uses (in the summertime in humid Virginia) she was much calmer! I kept the cape and adopted another Collie that was so reactive to thunderstorms that she was placed on anti-anxiety RX. She was pathetic! I broke out Misty's cape and put it on her and after @ 6 uses, she proudly were's her defender cape outside and wonders why none of my other dogs have such a nice raincoat! Most recent storm was 2 nights ago, and she laid down (ears perked up) but no distress, and that was WITHOUT HER CAPE! The Storm defender cape comes with a $ back guarantee, so it's worth the try!

Not all storm phobic dogs are reacting to the static electricity - some are responding to the noise of the thunder and lightning. For those dogs, try the Anxiety Wrap. I also suggest using bach's Rescue Remedy in conjunction with either the Storm Defender or the Anxiety Wrap.

We have a large breed dog with severe storm anxiety, he entirely reacts to the noise, a storm without thunder doesn't do anything. We have a t-shirt we've cut up the back and then cut into a couple strips that we put on him and tie up along his back that helps calm him, I wonder if this product relies more on the calming effect from the pressure than from disapating static electricity.

This won't help with fireworks since there is not a static electric charge to disapate. Your dog is responding to the sound of the explosion.

I bought a cape from storm defender and tried it over the course of 2 months - 5 storms. It did not work for my older golden retriever. It is definitely the light he reacts to. I returned it last week. However, Storm Defender DID honor their money back guarantee, so there is really no risk to try it. I still believe in the theory of it, just doesn't happen to work for my dog. I would try it again with a younger dog if I needed to.

There is a much more effective way to reassure your dog during storms and such. I found a product called a thunderband that helps a lot. I had seen this cape and it did not make sense to me, but the band did. Granted, my dog does not look like a superhero, but he is much calmer during storms.

Interesting product but the placebo cape study proves that the foil underside does little if anything since 2/3 of the dogs in each group reacted the same.
If you're looking for a much less expensive alternative that addresses the real issue (noise) then check out the ThunderBand. And yes, this product has a money-back guarantee as well.

If a dog has a noise phobia for storms/thunderstorms with no other anxiety, short-acting anxiolytics work great! Next time you're in for a visit ask your vet about a prescription. Minimal side effects other than sedation. An occasional dog will become MORE agitated/excitable so you should have a test run of the drug when there's nothing noisy and you're around for a few hours to monitor.

My little dog Chuck used to have horrible thunderstorm phobia - until we tried the cape. It has been a lifesaver for both me and Chuck, as now he calmly weathers storms, and he looks so stylish doing it. I highly suggest at least trying the cape.

It worked for our dog although he never completely relaxed. It also saved his life after escaping from our backyard on a stormy night. He ran up to a neighbor's yard full of guests. At first they were afraid of this big dog until they saw the cape...and that it was embroidered with "Super Doggy" on it. They figured he couldn't be all that bad and took him in until we arrived minutes later looking for him.

If capes work equally well with or without metal in them, then static electricity is not the explanation and there's no need to buy an expensive cape. I'm going with the commenter who said maybe the pressure is calming. It could be the touch, the extra attention, or even that the owner expects the dog to be calmer.

Why should dryer sheets cause cancer? They're just perfumed wax.

My very large Airedale would climb onto our laps and press very close when there were storms and we always appreciated the cuddle time. As for drugs - they aren't the quick fix for everything!

I have had great success using HomeoPet TFLN Anxiety. It is a homeopathic remedy for relief from fear of: Thunderstorms, Fireworks, Loud Noises and Windstorms. It helps with panting, pacing and other anxious behavior. It is a liquid so the dose can be adjusted and it works fast without sedating. It seems to just take the edge off. I get it from my vet but it is also sold on line.

A non-scented dryer sheet worked for my dog, and it is a lot cheaper that the cape.
Our dog was a holy terror when it came to storms, but only a few times with the dryer sheets, and she is truly a changed dog.
Now when there is a storm, she is calm, and can sleep right through them.
It is a great idea, but also why spend the money when there is a much cheaper alternative!

You should also try Canine Lullabies. I ordered this a couple of weeks ago, one for my Golden Retriever mix who is terrified of storms and one of a friend with a new puppy. It works! Both of my dogs love to fall asleep to the music which has the sound of a heartbeat in the background and it also helped my friends puppy to sleep all night. Definitely try it. www.caninelullabies.com

Tried the cape with a 150lb Saint Bernard that used to head for the basement or bathtub hours before a storm would hit. Having adopted him at age 5 we don't know what he was exposed to prior to joining us. We found out about the cape when the originator first put a website out. He was a phychologist and owner of a large breed who was afraid of storms as I recall. While it did wonders to calm the before and after catatonic drooling, shivering and unresponsive state our dog worked into, he was still afraid of loud noises including fireworks, Harleys, etc. which still caused him anxiety. Symptoms do worsen with age. It's definitely worth a try...the younger the better!

We adopted two more Saints after our big boy passed. Puppies this time. The male exhibited some symptoms early on but the female has had a calming effect and luckily they've been desensitized to all noises and storms.

If you can't afford the cape we've seen some success with tin foil around the collar and ankles. The key seems to be repeated use, static discharge (this seems to be why dogs scratch in bathtubs or around pipes) and lowering your own anxiety which dogs DO sense.

We have a 7 yr. old rescued, alledged Lhasa that is terrified of thunder and lightening and must be medicated to calm her. After moving into a condo last year, we discovered an alternative to drugs. The powder room/half bath! It's located centrally in our unit (no windows) and contains a noisy vent. I turn on the light and fan, toss in her bed, send in the dog and close the door until the storm passes. She's perfectly content; even goes to sleep without Xanax!

I laughed when my vet suggested the cape for our large, anxiety-prone Akita, Not wanting to put her on additional meds if we could help it, we ordered the cape and were pleasantly surprised by the reaction she had to it. Initially she did not like wearing it and would stand for hours rather than sit or lie down but after a few uses, she became comfortable & relaxed during the storms. We can finally ALL sleep through the night! A blessing during the stormy spring/summers of Texas....and a source of comic relief: we started calling her "Super Phoebe" when she wears the cape!

According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, fabric softener sheets are dangerous to pets, causing gastrointestinal irritation, especially for cats, but for dogs as well. There is no mention of dryer sheets causing cancer on www.ASPCA.org. Excellent website, by the way.

Also, I've been advised by my vet not to use dryer sheets when I wash my dog's bedding, because he could ingest residue left on the fabric. I no longer use fabric softener on my blankets and quilts, because my dog likes to sleep on my bed. (And I like him to sleep with me!)

My mother uses homeopathic drops from the vet to calm her Jack Russell's brontophobia. It works pretty well; we have to anticipate the storms (not easy in Central Florida) because her dog won't take water or food once she senses a storm nearing. And she can tell long before we humans can!

Putting something, like a cape or pack, sometimes makes dogs behave better. It depends on the dog.

As for the static- a dryer sheet won't work the same as the metal, although it does aid in removing static.

The first study mentioned is too limited with only 14 dog/dog owners and the second vague (for all we know, it could have been 3 dogs!). And so, to base SUCH a knowledgeable opinion on that study (without knowing the facts both in the study or the understanding of dog behavior) isn't the most appropriate thing.

Also, it is pointed out that not all dogs will react the same based on variables such as hair and fear triggers.

As for me, I have not tried this product (yet). With some background in dog training, I would be curious to try it out (the Thunderband as well).

CDs won't always work for noise phobias either as many dogs become anxious due to changes in weather before noise is heard. Also, many of those CDs are not enhanced well enough to simulate noises as a dog hears them.

As for dryer sheets- it's been known for years that there are 'links' to cancer. The benzyl acetate found in some are linked to pancreatic cancer. More eco-friendly and non-toxic brands are accessible and healthier if you are concerned over cancer. Personally, I just don't waste the money on them, at all.

regarding fireworks we took my husky pup at about 4 mos old with us to a local fireworks show and held her in my lap on the grassy lawn. The largest shells were actually set off right across the highway from where we were sitting so it was VERY loud. At first she didn't like all the booms at all but by half way through the show she was snoozing in my lap.

My dog Storm is afraid of Storm but the cape is just another way to get people to spend their money. My dog goes down of the floor and he is fine as long he know where were at. And when it time for bed he is under the blaket or again on the floor. When it comes to Storms he want to be left alone but also know he is loved. So why spend the money for a cape for a dog when that is gas in your car?

For those of you that think you can just hug and cuddle your dog and they'll feel better, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about! Try that with a 90-100 lb. hulk that is the most mild mannered laid back dog until a storm hits. He busted through a wall, let me say that again, he busted through a wall during a thunder storm because he was so scarred! Not to mention kennels and gates and anything else in the way or where he thinks he needs to go.

It's very hard to keep him confined, even in our arms, so that he doesn't destroy anything or hurt himself. We haven’t tried the cape yet, but we’ve tried the noise therapy, massage therapy, scented oils, seditatives, anxiety medications, body wraps…with very little affect. Unfortunately, I think the problem is both noise and the static build up.

It’s very judgmental to imply that all it would take is to spend more time and attention on your dog. But if by all means, hug your freaked out dog for 4 hours in the middle of the night or at 6 pm during a tornado storm while you’re hiding in the basement trying to keep him from hurting himself and you’re baby who is also scared and clinging to you. Good luck! Me, I’ll keep looking for whatever helps him the most. The hardest part of it all is not what to do while you’re at home with them, but what can you do for them so they don’t freak out when you’re not home and a storm hits.

I am with a greyhound rescue group and have worked with the creator of the cape. I wrote an article for CG Magazine because the cape worked well on many dogs. On some it worked like a charm and others, not so well. They do refund your money. So if it works your dog will be much happier. Homeopathic also works well on many dogs. I do not see that any help to a dog with thunderphobia is a waste of money. The right thing to do is to try to help reduce your dog's anxiety. Anxiety is not good for dogs or people and may affect the health of a pet down the road. The Anxiety Wrap works well with separation anxiety too.

I rescued an approximately 5 yo golden who was running in a thunderstorm into 6 lanes of rush hour traffic.Shortly afterwards I discovered why no one answered my lost dog ads. I came home from work one day and he had destroyed the interior wood door leading into my attached garage along with the woodwork and dry wall. He has done this several times and most recently he bit, dug, chewed completely through the door. The hole in the drywell is now large enough to walk through.Once in the garage, he destroyed the frame on the screen door including the metal grate protecting the screen from pet claws. He goes absolutely beserk and destroys everything in his path. Mind you, he was on acepromazine when he accomplished his latest feat. IF u saw the destruction u would swear someone had taken a sledgehammer and a buzz saw to my home.In addition he has destroyed vinyl siding and trim around my back door, the cedar woodwark around both doors in my great room and a window screen in the front window. An attempt to crate him was a disaster. He totally destroyed a metal crate and the pan and managed to escape with the door still secured. He only does this when it storms or when my moronic neighbors decide it is July 4th on any given day of the year and start setting off cherry bombs, etc. Outside of giving him heavy doses of acepromazine which seems to sedate him, for a short time, I am out of answers. He also is a barkaholic. He gets along with all dogs unless they are outside his fence. Then he barks until he is hoarse, works himself into a frenzy and starts snarling and trying to fight with his friends inside our fence. Jolts on the highest setting with a bark collar got his attention but after a few times he barked through it. My vet seems to think he is hopeless and is suggesting euthanasia. I'm really not willing to do that but I can't have my house destroyed either.

My ten year old dog was never afraid of storms until the last few years. Each year she has gotten worse.
She would sit next to me and paw continually on me, the chair or the wall.
While researching "doggie drugs", I found the cape.
When the first storm came, I put it on her immediately. Within FIVE MINUTES she was resting comfortably at my feet and fell asleep!
This is worth every penny.... and well worth a try! Especially since they have a full money back guarantee!
