Does the 4^th of July make 
your patients anxious?

DogLeggs’ Surgi-Sox Torso for Control of Anxiety

The 4^th of July is quickly approaching and with it, anxiety for dogs, brought on by loud fireworks and thunder from summer storms. Just like humans, when animals experience stress they show the canine equivalent signs of what we call anxiety, trembling, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, panting and behavior problems. In addition, just like humans most animals are calmed by gentle pressure (swaddling) to the body.

The DogLeggs Surgi-Sox Torso is an effective tool in helping animals in stressful situations such as:

• Loud noises such as fireworks and thunder
• Veterinarian visits
• Separation anxiety
• Groomer visits
• Meeting new people or other animals

 

Research Supporting Pressure Garments 
For Anxiety

• Dr. Temple Grandin, Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University has written about the effectiveness of swaddling animals to control stress.
• Shereen D. Farber, Ph.D, OTR, FAOTA, and author of Neurorehabilitation A Multisensory Approach. (WB Saunders Co. Philadelphia, 1982) lectures on the topic of "The Technique of Maintained Pressure". This research supports what we already have known for centuries, a hug makes us feel better and reduces anxiety.

 

DogLeggs Surgi-Sox Torso is the perfect solution to provide calming maintained pressure. Just slide the easy to use DogLeggs Surgi-Sox Torso on a dog or cat before the stressful event and watch them be more relaxed and handle the situation much better. In some cases all the pet may need is the Surgi-Sox product or it can be used in combination with other solutions that your veterinary professionals suggest.
