Loading... Please wait...Anxiety Wrap uses the gentle technique of "maintained pressure" and acupressure to help relieve stress. It is used to prevent thunderstorm fear, fireworks fear, separation anxiety and more!
Recommended by vets, dog trainers, behaviourists and Tellington Touch practioners around the world.
Invented by a professional dog trainer with more than 25 years experience.
Created in 2001 by Susan Sharpe CPDT, ADPT. It’s the only patented pressure wrap in the industry. Susan knows dogs and has devoted her life to helping them. She developed The Anxiety Wrap to help calm her clients’ dogs when they were staying at her Doggie Resort. After 90 prototypes, she hit upon the exact fabric and design that resulted in a high quality, lightweight, breathable product that provides the maximum calming effect. The Anxiety Wrap’s patented design applies Maintained Pressure by conforming to the torso of the dog with resiliently expandable and flexible material. The spring of the fabric allows it to apply a low level of pressure to many portions of the body of the wearer.
To find correct fitting for your dog, measure your dog's chest slightly snug.

My 6 year old border terrier - scruffles has always been a "clingy" dog. I would never say he had full blown separation anxiety, however wherever we were in the house he wouldn't be too far away. When we left for work he would jump into the window to sunbathe, chill, sleep until our return where we were greeted with a wag of th tail and a few barks. I hadn't considered his condition serious enough to warrant an anxiety wrap. About 6 months ago we moved home and our worlds fell apart. My dog had gone from being perfectly fine about being at home in the house to being extremely upset when we were not there. He would whine ALL DAY long, bark at every little sound and upon our return he wouldn't leave my side; he had to be sat next to me at all times. Being an eductaed and reponsible dog owner i was baffled as I know we were meeting all of his physical and mental needs - plenty of exercising throughout the day - morining, lunchtimes, no fuss upon our return, no pampering or treating like a human. For weeks we tried a varitey of tactics - more longer walks in the mornings, leaving him in different rooms, leaving the room and returning immediately etc... all to no avail. It seemed to make things worse and was unbearble for us and our neighnours, so much so that we decided that for his mental health, our lifestyle no longer suited him and he would be better in a home that could meet his needs for company. The hardest decision i have ever had to make and something that was not at all taken lightly. I adore my dog and couldn't bear to see him this upset all of the time. Rehoming him to retired couple seemed to be the best thing for him, regardless of my feelings, his well being was the most important. We made the call for a friend to take him but at the same time Pets Perfect provided me with lots of information on the Anxiety Wrap. Desperate to try anything I bought one and Oh My God, what a lifesaver it has been. From the first time in the anxiety wrap it made an enormous difference albeit fo the first 15 minutes he didn't move at all! When he had de-sensitised to the anxiety wrap he went round the house until he found a place to settle down...and went to sleep! This is the dog that would not leave my side and cried if he could not be with me. He actually went into another room and went to sleep. Following the simple programme we built up his time in the anxiety wrap and each time he would take himself off to his bed, which was now in the kitchen and chill out. You could see the relief and calmness immeditaley take over him. We could walk in, make a cup of tea and walk out again and he wasn't bothered at all. I have never seen him so relaxed and within 10 days of him wearing the anxiety wrap he was a changed dog.
Thanks to the anxiety wrap my dog is once again fine with being at home alone and no longer has hyper-attachement. The results are remarkable and i cannot thank Pets Perfect and the inventor of this miracle product enough.
For those of you that can relate to my story I strongly recommend the anxiety wrap. Scruffles is a much calmer, happier dog than he has ever been. It makes such a difference and the support you get from the manufacturer is fantastic. You will not regret buying an Anxiety Wrap, only that you didn't do it sooner. 90% of dogs suffer from separation anxiety at some point in their lives, my expereince is that the anxiety wrap can help these dogs overcome this terrible and upsetting situation.

With fireworks night fast approaching I decided to purchase the Anxiety Wrap. My 7 year old Westie has always been afraid of loud noises but as she’s got older, they seem to affect her even more. Last year in particular she was terrified and we had to sit with her for a while before she calmed down. Keen to help our dog avoid this trauma each year, the Anxiety Wrap seemed to be getting good reviews and have the potential to keep her calm.
I ordered the wrap and it arrived in perfect order, well packaged (although being a flexible material it would be difficult to break in transit). The anxiety wrap itself seems to be well made (you can see that from the video) and fits her really well. As previously mentioned it seems to be fireworks that really agitate her and not so much thunder so we will have to wait until November to see the real benefit this wrap has!
Based on the build quality and fit though I’ll award it high marks.

I decided to purchase the Anxiety wrap after hearing about it through a friend who is a local dog trainer. My dog, which is a 4 year old collie (Suzie) is sensitive to thunderstorms and barks and whimpers when left by herself, eventually we give in and let her stay in our room. I’m also conscious that bonfire night is just around the corner and loud bangs and firework noises are a real concern.
The Anxiety Wrap was delivered quickly and well packaged. After removing it from the wrapping the instructions coupled with the video on the pets perfect website quickly showed me how to fit my dog into the anxiety wrap. The material feels stretchy, the seams are well stitched and the wrap fits snugly without feeling tight. There has only been one storm since purchasing the product and it was early evening but Suzie (our dog) stayed in her basket in the kitchen by herself while we were in the front room.
I would recommend the anxiety wrap to anyone who has a dog that gets anxious during storms or firework nights.
