Head-to-Tail Calm: The Evolution of the Anxiety Vest
Other vests only calm the body.
VagalGuard™ calms the nervous system — and the senses that overload it.
By combining targeted chest pressure with gentle auditory buffering, your dog experiences the same neurological reset as a human deep-pressure therapy wrap.
"Gentle, consistent pressure helps activate the vagal calming response, reducing panic 10x faster than supplements or chews."
— Dr. Sarah Bennett, DVM, Veterinary Behavior Specialist
Why VagalGuard™ Beats Generic Anxiety Vests
🐕 How to Use
1. Slip the vest over your dog’s head and secure the torso straps for a snug, comfortable fit.
2. For high-stress moments, gently pull up the Comfort-Hood™ for complete sensory calm.
3. Use before thunderstorms, fireworks, car rides, vet visits, or when leaving the house.
The more consistently it’s worn during anxious moments, the faster your dog’s nervous system learns to regulate itself naturally.

Finally, Something That Actually Works
“I honestly thought my golden retriever was just ‘one of those anxious dogs.’ We’d tried ThunderShirt, CBD chews, even calming sprays, nothing lasted more than a few minutes. The first time I used VagalGuard, she actually laid down during a thunderstorm. I just sat there watching her breathe normally for the first time in years.”

She Slept Through Fireworks for the First Time
“My rescue mix used to start shaking the second she heard fireworks. I’d close the curtains, play music, hold her, nothing helped. With this vest, she walked over, curled up, and fell asleep. I cried because I didn’t realize how much the anxiety was breaking both of us.”

I Can Leave for Work Without Feeling Guilty
“For months, I felt guilty leaving my dog alone while I worked. He’d whine, scratch the door, and refuse to eat until I got back. Three days with VagalGuard and he started waiting calmly by the window instead. It’s the first time I’ve gone to work without that knot in my stomach.”
