I don't know the product, but I'm wondering if it could be something akin to the Thundershirt or Anxiety Wrap. I'm told these things were based on the same idea as that squeeze box that Temple Grandin invented for herself to calm her down during periods of extreme emotional anxiety. Temple's "hug" box was, itself, largely inspired the squeeze boxes used in cattle farming. Some folks swear by these anxiety-reducing products, but they didn't work at all with my brain damaged GSD. The only thing that's worked for her at all is pharmaceutical drugs. Sometimes, you really do have to drug something into submission. :D -- Karen C.
