Hover to zoomSize guide & how to measure
The maker prints a six-size table in cm, with a dog weight range in kg for each size.
How to measure
- Measure the chest girth right round the widest part, just behind the front legs.
- Measure the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
- Measure the neck girth where a collar sits, then match all three to a row.
| Size | Chest Girth (CM) | Back Length (CM) | Neck Girth (CM) | Weight (KG) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 22-30 | 17 | 12-20 | 1.5-3.5 |
| S | 30-40 | 20 | 18-26 | 3.5-7 |
| M | 38-50 | 26 | 26-40 | 7-14 |
| L | 46-66 | 32 | 33-50 | 14-22 |
| XL | 56-78 | 37 | 38-58 | 22-30 |
| XXL | 64-90 | 42 | 46-64 | 30-40 |
Manufacturer's own figures. A calming vest needs to be snug to work, so if your dog is between sizes go by the chest girth rather than the weight.

Full description
Firework season, thunderstorms and long car journeys leave a lot of dogs pacing, drooling and unable to settle, and the drug-free thing most owners try first is gentle constant pressure. The idea borrows from swaddling: a snug wrap around the torso gives steady input that helps some dogs stop escalating. This HOPOPOPET calming shirt is cut for exactly that, hugging the body closely rather than hanging on it like a coat.
The fabric is breathable and stretchy so it moves with the dog and does not bind at the shoulders, and adjustable closures let you pull it in until it is genuinely snug rather than merely on. It is light, between 45g and 165g depending on size, which means it can go under a coat in cold weather or be worn indoors all evening without adding heat. Sizes run from XS up to 2XL across several colours including light grey, dark blue, dark green and rose red.
- Close-fitting wrap that applies gentle, even pressure
- Breathable stretch fabric
- Adjustable closures for a properly snug fit
- 45g to 165g depending on size
- Sizes XS to 2XL in several colours
- Light enough to layer under a winter coat
Being honest about what this does. Pressure wraps help a fair proportion of anxious dogs and do nothing at all for others, and there is no way to know which yours is until you try. It is not a treatment for severe noise phobia or separation distress, which deserve a conversation with your vet and a behaviourist. Fit it snug but not tight, with room to slip fingers underneath, and introduce it on calm ordinary evenings well before firework night rather than pulling it on mid-panic.
Who it's for: Dogs who struggle with fireworks, storms, travel or vet visits, and owners wanting to try a drug-free option alongside proper support.

Why we chose it
The idea borrows from swaddling: a snug wrap gives steady input that helps some dogs stop escalating. It suits some and does nothing for others, which is worth knowing before you buy. Use it on quiet days well before firework night.
