ThunderShirt" for Pet Anxiety

In another post, I stated that my 12-year old Bichon Friese has started having unexplained anxiety/panic attacks. My vet recommended puppy Zantax.
I have seen advertised a "Thundershirt" for about $40 that is used to alleviate this problem. Does anyone here have any experience with such an item?

    Stubborn: I like that. Our best fur children had stubborn personalities.

    Hi
    We have a 10 year old Cocker that has anxiety problems also. We've tried the thunder shirt several times but to no avail. Hate to medicate her but it just makes life easier for her and us. other pets may do better..
