2003-07-16, Animals Plus Llc - The Anxiety Wrap is expanding to pet stores such as sitstay.com, kvvetsupply.com and dogstuff.com. The product helps dogs stay calm during thunderstorms and relieves other kinds of stress.HUNTINGTON, INDIANA (PRWEB) August, 2003 – The Anxiety Wraptm, patent pending, is expanding distribution to on-line pet stores such as sitstay.com, kvvetsupply.com, and dogstuff.com, in addition to stand-alone pet stores in Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, and Delaware. Made of a stretchable fabric the animal wears, its number one usage is to help dogs stay calm during thunderstorms. The Anxiety Wrap can also help animals under stress become calm whether that stress is demonstrated through fearful, anxious, or hyperactive behavior. The new product was launched late 2001 and has been growing steadily with first quarter 2003 sales up 400 percent versus last year. “I believe the reason for the growth is that this product addresses a widespread problem that did not have easy-to-use or effective treatment option,” explains Susan Sharpe, veteran dog trainer and inventor of The Anxiety Wrap. “Thunderstorm fear is a problem that the entire family experiences along with the dog as it’s painful for the family to see their dog suffer during a storm. Also many storms occur in the middle of the night and we hear many stories about people being woken up by their dog that is frantic and inconsolable.” The most common treatment available prior to The Anxiety Wrap was a prescribed medication available through veterinarians. This drug must be administered at exactly the right time before a storm occurs, which is difficult to do, given the unpredictability of storms. The Anxiety Wrap applies gentle Maintained Pressure across a wide area of the body which is a technique used in humans for years. “The snug fit of The Anxiety Wrap applies a light, gentle pressure that is maintained regardless of the animal’s activity,” explains Shereen Farber, Ph.D., OTR, FAOTA, and author of “Neurorehabilitation, A Multisensory Approach” (WB Saunders Co. Philadelphia, 1982). “In theory, this maintained pressure affects the sensory receptors that communicate with the brain and nervous system. The Anxiety Wrap provides input that is even, rhythmic, and repetitive, producing a calming of mind and body.” The Anxiety Wrap is currently being used by veterinarians, animal behaviorists, trainers, chiropractors, groomers, Tellington Touch practitioners, and acupressurists. Cornell University is currently developing a controlled research study and Dr. Barbara Simpson, a renowned expert on thunderstorm phobia in dogs, mentioned The Anxiety Wrap as a new way to treat thunderstorm fear at the American Veterinary Medical Association’s convention in 2002. Susan has teamed up with fellow Tellington Touch Practitioner Kimberly Ring who brings 18 years of world-class advertising and public relations agency experience. The Anxiety Wrap is trademarked and patent-pending and is owned by Animals Plus LLC. This product works best as a tool used in conjunction with gentle training methods and is not a substitute for proper veterinary care or exercise. Susan Sharpe is a registered member in good standing with APDT. She is currently the only certified Tellington Touch Practitioner in Indiana. She lives with her family and 3 dogs and many cats in Indiana. Visit anxietywrap.com for more details and testimonials.
