Good quality shirt
This vest does seem to have a calming effect on my dog. It washes up nicely and when I accidentally put it in the dryer, I was so relieved to see that it hadn't shrunk. So, it does seem easy to maintain and keep clean in the washer, without losing it's shape.
The one concern I have with it though, is the Velcro. I noticed my dog licking and scratching at her neck and tummy. When I looked at them closer, I realized that in places around the neck and tummy, the Velcro was scratching against her skin and irritating it. I felt SO bad, that this was happening to her when I put the vest on her and she couldn't tell me and suffered by continuously scratching herself.
She is a Chihuahua and thunder storms, vacuum cleaners, blow dryers or pretty much any loud noise, makes her anxious and nervous and the vest does seem to provide her with some relief. I didn't want to just throw it away, so, I trimmed the Velcro back as far as I could. Daisy had worn clothes since I brought her home at 10 weeks, so, thankfully, she was accustomed to them. I put one of her shirts on underneath the vest and this, along with trimming the Velcro back on the vest, has made it comfortable for her when she needs her vest now.
If you don't put clothes on your dog or cat, just trimming the Velcro edges back on the vest may be helpful if your baby is being irritated by any areas where the vest touches the skin.
Overall, I do recommend the vest for effectiveness and maintenance.
I hope this review can help someone!
