Original Snuggle Puppy Toys - Heartbeat Puppy for Dogs - Dog Plush for Anxiety Relief, Calming Aid, and Comfort Toy for Behavioral Training in Biscuit

Well, we got a new puppy! Yeah!! Then night rolled around and we put the puppy in his kennel and he cried all night long. No one slept a wink those first few nights. I know some people say to get an old style clock and the ticking sound will comfort the puppy. I never really liked that idea because I was worried that the puppy would break the clock and accidentally swallow a piece of it. I happened upon this Snuggle Puppy and thought it was worth a try and seemed less risky than a clock. Well, let me tell you... he loves his puppy! I guess it didn't help that he was from a littler of 13 but having a "puppy" with a heartbeat that he could rest his head on actually made him feel better.I'm very happy I decided to give this little guy a try.If you found this review helpful please click "yes" below so I know I'm not wasting my time writing these reviews.

Our 12 week old puppy was having a difficult time with being in the crate at night. Would cry and cry every time we'd let him out to use the bathroom and would put him back in the crate, so multiple times a night. One night was particularly bad, so I started doing research and came across this. Game changer! He cried a little for a few nights and now he goes right into his cage wo a fuss. I'm sure there are other factors at play here, however, I know this played a huge role! So happy!!Used the one pack of heat that came with it and it was cool! But it's NM and it's already hot here, so once the weather cools in the fall, we'll consider getting the heat packs. The heart beat alone works great. Also the dog itself is super plush and soft.

I purchased this before getting my puppy and I am so grateful I did! She sleeps on it like a pillow since the first night. Sometimes she just lies beside it as if she is trying to mimic the position. It’s light enough that she can move it around to where she wants and durable enough that she can chew on its tails when the urge strikes. It has been laundered several times and holds up well. We have used it for 2.5 months and only changed the batteries once. I have not used the warming packs because she prefers cooler temps.

This is a great buy. My new foster dog cuddled up with it in the crate and would go there just to chill during the day. Other foster dogs however just think it’s a big toy, but the good news is, this is a sturdy dog and very well made! Even though some rough pug play, it has no holes or damage.The heating pad works well but buying them constantly is a bit of a pain. So I mostly just use the vibrations with this.

I don't normally write a review, but I had 2 chihuahuas one was almost 17 and passed away in her sleep. My 6 year old chihuahua cried for 3 days. I have a toddler so didn't want to get another dog so I thought I would try this. It worked like a charm. She snuggled right up to it and is happy again. We put the heart beat on at night since we are with her during the day. Highly recommend.

Do I know 100% this is what did it no? But I’ve had this for one night and I can tell you I had a full night of sleep for the first time in weeks. Granted he still whined a little when I put him in and when he saw me to come let him out. which I didn’t till obviously he was quiet I will edit if anything changes but so far I’m happy because I had a good night of sleep and so did my 14 week old puppy. My only complaint is the size it’s quite small. While notably my puppy is not typical for everyone(he’s close to or maybe is 40lbs at 14 weeks) but this seems small for a lot of large breed puppies I’m just so happy I got sleep.

I like the concept of this product, but it seemed inappropriate for a puppy my dog's age. We just adopted a 5 month old puppy. In anticipation of bringing our new dog home I bought a Snuggle puppy thinking it would help with our dog's adjustment to our home. First night I took the Snuggle puppy out, inserted the heart and put it in my dog's crate. (Our puppy came to us crate trained). Our little guy just barked and barked at the Snuggle puppy until we took it out of his crate. I offered our dog the Snuggle puppy to sniff and he wanted nothing to do with it. We think our dog saw the Snuggle puppy as some sort of competition or violating his space when the it was in my dog's crate. This toy may work well as a tool to combat separation anxiety with younger pups but my 5 month old puppy didn't like it at ALL.

My senior blind dog has a lot of anxiety issues related to a condition similar to Alzheimer’s. Towards the end of the evening or in the middle of the night he’ll forget where he is and start circling/panicking hitting walls/falling over things.He acts like it’s his first time being in our home and unsure of where he is…I was skeptical of this but as soon as I put it in his bed with him he was calmed. He’s grown quite used to it and enjoys keeping it close to his chest or chin.The sound is very minimalI can see why it soothes him because it’s like having a person or another animal laying beside him. I can feel it when I lay next to him on the couch…it’s calmingThis was worth the $40 as it has helped ME sleep through the night because I don’t have to worry about him pacing or having an episode eitherTruly works!
