The dog weighted vests work under the theory that pressure applied to the dog's torso causes a calming effect similar to swaddling a crying infant or hugging a distressed person.

Weight vests also allow your dog to push harder, building natural muscle and tone. Their close fit means that they do not throw your dog off balance, and can actually help with increasing stability and agility as well as pure strength.

When worn properly, the dog weighted vest distribute pressure over the back and sides of the dog’s chest, serving as a calming “hug.”  Scientifically, gentle pressure releases chemicals called endorphins that promote a sense of well-being. That’s why stroking a dog firmly and slowly calms him down while a quick pat on the head gets him revs him up.

There is no proven science behind these weighted vests but it is worth trying as an alternative to anxiety medications or other methods.
