Solastride Calming Vest

Honestly wasn't sure about buying something like this. Seemed gimmicky. But our labradoodle has been so much better during storms this season. Wouldn't be without it now.

Good quality and our dog doesn't mind wearing it which was my first concern. Definitely helps when things get intense. Really glad we tried it.

Our shepherd mix has separation anxiety. Started putting this on when we leave and the neighbours have stopped mentioning barking. That's the best feedback I could get honestly.

Took our jack russell on a flight in cabin. She's been on planes before and it's always stressful. This time she slept for most of the flight. Crew even commented on how calm she was.

We foster dogs and this has become part of our kit for new arrivals who are stressed in the first few days. Makes a real difference in how quickly they settle.

Bought this for thunderstorms. First time we used it there was a massive storm and our maltese actually fell asleep on the couch. I couldn't believe it. Previous storms she'd be a mess for hours.

Definitely helps our kelpie during loud events. Knocking off one star because the instructions on how to fit it properly could be better. Took us a few attempts to get it sitting right.

Washes well. Put it through a cold gentle cycle and it came out fine, no shrinking or weird texture. That was my main concern buying something like this.

Vet visit last week was so much better. Our cavoodle usually trembles the whole time. She still wasn't thrilled but the shaking was less intense and she calmed down faster afterward.

Our dachshund is 9 years old and has always been terrified of fireworks. This was the first year she didn't hide under the bed the entire night. She still wasn't happy but she stayed in the lounge with us.

Tried everything for our rescue greyhound. This isn't a magic fix but it takes the edge off. He'll actually lie down during thunder now instead of pacing for hours. That alone is worth it.

Fits our lab well on the large size and does seem to help with storms. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the velcro picked up a lot of fluff in the wash. Minor but annoying.

Our staffy cross has always hated the car. Long trips were a nightmare. Put this on him before a 2 hour drive to my parents and he actually slept most of the way. Pretty happy with that.

My border collie gets so worked up when we have people over. Put this on her before my daughters birthday party and she was way more settled than usual. Still wanted attention but wasn't barking constantly.

Got this for our golden retriever Biscuit ahead of Guy Fawkes. Wasn't expecting miracles but she was noticeably less frantic than last year. Still alert but not spinning in circles. Will use again for New Years.

Wish I bought this sooner. Fireworks are normally a nightmare for our little Cavoodle. She still noticed the noise but wasn't shaking like she normally does. Fit was good and sizing chart was accurate

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but our Labrador wore this during a thunderstorm last week and the difference was noticeable. Usually he's pacing around the house and panting non-stop. This time he settled down on his bed and stayed there. Really happy with it.

Our border collie gets super stressed in the car. We used the vest on a 3 hour trip and she seemed way more relaxed than usual. Easy to put on and the material feels nice quality too.

The vest fits nicely and seems well made. My dog still gets anxious during really loud fireworks, but he does seem calmer than before and recovers faster afterwards. Would recommend giving it a try.

Quality is much better than I expected. Soft fabric, easy to adjust and doesn't seem to bother my German Shepherd at all

Works well for our cocker spaniel during fireworks. Sizing guide could be clearer though. we ordered the wrong size first and had to exchange. Once we got the right one it fit perfectly.

Our 10 year old corgi has always been a worrier. This vest has made her last couple of years so much more comfortable during what used to be really stressful events. Wish we'd found it sooner.

Our rescue needs multiple calming tools and this is one of the best ones we've found. Good quality, comfortable, makes a real difference during the worst moments.

Simple to put on once you know how. Our dog doesn't fight it at all. Has made a genuine difference to his quality of life during anxious moments and that's all I wanted.

Got it for thunderstorms specifically. Works really well for that. Haven't tried other situations but based on storms alone it's worth every cent.

Our anxious rescue shepherd has worn this through two fireworks seasons now. Year one was a huge improvement. Year two even better. Think there's a conditioning effect happening too.
