This works the same way Temple Grandin's cattle press works for persons on the autism spectrum, by calming their autonomic (automatic) nervous system.
I suggest smoothing out the Ace bandage (or scarf) across the pet's sides to get more surface coverage.
Also helpful: Bach Rescue Remedy (can be found at most pet stores, holistic vets, and health food stores.) and FES 5-Flower Essence -- same as Rescue Remedy, just a different brand.
Hugs to all the fur kids out there who will suffer because of humans...
On edit: you can also use a scarf.
