Original Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Puppy Toy - Heartbeat Puppy for Dogs - Pet Anxiety Relief and Calming Aid - Comfort Dog Toy - Behavioral Training and Sleep Aid Cuddle buddy - Crate Training Essential

My almost 3 month old pup loves this toy!! She brings it in every room and sleeps with it. When she first got it, you could tell she was surprised at heartbeat inside cause she’d stick her face up to it, it was really cute!! Great quality no rips or tearing from puppy teeth. And the Velcro is very secure!! Very fun for her, a great size and the heartbeat is def strong. You a sweet the heartbeat on 8hr or 24/7 and it says with 3 double a batteries irl go 2weeks on 24/7 mode if you have a pup with anxiety or separation issues!!

This is a must for new puppies. I took a Snuggle Puppy with me when I picked up our labrador puppy at 7 weeks old. The breeder rubbed it on the mother's back a few times for us to capture her mother's scent and we were off for a two hour ride home. She slept the whole way home on top of her puppy and slept for 5 hours the first night with just a few whimpers at the half-way mark. The ride home and a new environment really wore her out. By the third night and every night since, both my puppy and I have gotten a good night's sleep (7 hours then 9+ hours)! I think the heart beat and heating pack, along with her mother's scent, made her transition to our house go so smoothly. Both the heating packs and heart beat worked as advertised. I never replaced the battery in the hearbeat but stopped using that after a week or so when I was confident her bedtime routine was solid. Now at 14 weeks, she will take the puppy out of her kennel to play with and most nightes uses it as a pillow. The snuggle puppy is well-constructed and shows no signs of wear and tear. The tail has been chewed on daily and is still there. I could have an easy puppy but would never bring home another puppy without a Snuggle Puppy. Our nighttime temperatures will be below zero this week so I will stick a heating pack in Snuggle Puppy to help keep our puppy comfortable. Snuggle Puppy is the best invention to help a new puppy transition to their forever home.

I got my puppy yesterday and this is, so far, the best thing I purchased. He wrestles with it and sleeps against it. He slept through the night which I totally did not expect. The toy is bigger than he is and that make the whole thing just that much cuter. I have a feeling I will be going through a lot of batteries but I think it's completely worth it. The toy is soft and so far has taken the little guys teeth with no tearing. I'll update further if he manages to rip it open or anything Update: No tearing and I did put in a hand warmer overnight to see how that worked. It made the toy warm enough to the touch to be comforting but not too hot. I'm not sure my puppy noticed or cared and I haven't done it since. He loves to wrestle with this and sleeps next to or on top of it whenever it's nap time. Update May 2017 -- He loves this toy, he still sleeps with it every night. It hasn't had a heartbeat or the warmer in years but it is still his go to sleep toy. It goes with him to boarding and on every trip. He still has the original stuffy though it doesn't have ears or eyes anymore. I had to wash it once due to an explosion in the crate, with a lot of bleach, and it fared very well. He wasn't sure about it for a few days as it didn't smell right anymore, but he soon fell in love with it again. Im very impressed with the quality as this has lasted three plus years of pretty constant mauling. Five Year Update: He still loves this toy. I keep considering getting a new one and swapping them out but it's held up surprisingly well. Seven Year Update: My neighbors got a puppy and she just cried the whole first night in the crate. I got her one of these and the difference is amazing. She hears the heartbeat and goes directly into her crate! I broke down and got my dog another one, even though this is a big pricey for the size of toy. He is in love. He has spent hours cuddling with this in the past two days. I put up a pic of the old one vs new one. I finally washed the old one and it's better, but he LOVES the new one. I was being sentimental as it was the toy I had with me when I picked him up from the breeder, but apparently he doesn't care. I will be getting more, possibly yearly, as he destroys them.

The heartbeat was too loud for my puppy so he got aggressive with it. Worked better as his sleeping buddy after I took out the heartbeat

Sooo helpful! Let me tell you... the first 2 nights with a 9 week old puppy in her new home made for some sleepless nights! My husband and I needed some relief 😮‍💨 We found the snuggle puppy and it has helped alot!! We can at least get sleep for a couple of hours at a time during the night... 2-3 hour stretches. This adjustment period has been easier now. Not only sleep at night but the day naps too. She seems less anxious and the heartbeat seems to put her at ease. She loves it! So far I have had to wash it 2x and its still just as soft and fluffy as the day we got it. Our pup chews on it and has yet to make a hole.

I bought my first snuggle puppy almost 15 years. I just bought my 3rd and I’ve sent them as gifts a few times over the years. They work, especially for puppies missing their littermates for the first time. The faux fur, heartbeat sound and vibrations are very soothing for them. I also never had a dog tear one up and I had a lab puppy that grew to be 115 lbs. And I think the quality is even better than it was 15 years ago. When does that happen!?!

The Original Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Toy has been a total game-changer for our puppy, Maisie! ❤️ The heartbeat feature, plus it being the same color as her mom, has really comforted her. I truly believe it’s helped with crate training — we’ve had her for 10 days, and she has slept through the night for the last 7 nights! Best invention ever for a new puppy. Highly recommend for anyone bringing home a young dog!

It’s not a bad product, and it may work for other dogs just fine, but it just hasn’t worked for our dog the way I hoped it would. We very recently lost our older, senior dog. Our other, younger dog (who is also a senior), had always been around the older dog, ever since we got him as a puppy, and is struggling to cope with the loss of his constant canine companion. When our dogs were together, they had no problem being left alone for a few hours whenever my husband and I were out. They were always happy and excited to see us when we came back, but never acted like they were distressed or upset. However, now that our one dog is by himself, he’s not used to being left alone for any length of time. We try not to leave him alone for too long, but we can’t both be home 24/7 all the time. Even just being gone for a short period of time, half an hour to an hour, he’s always extremely anxious, fussy, and vocal upon our return, which he never had been before. We plan to eventually get another dog to keep him company, but we want to give him time to adjust to life without his best dog pal, as well as ourselves time to grieve the loss of our sweet pup, before we introduce a new dog. At the same time, we don’t want him to be overly upset any time we have to step out of the house. I heard the Snuggle Puppy could help sooth a dog’s anxiety while dealing with the loss of an animal companion, so I thought I would try it. First of all, the heartbeat noise is very loud. When I first turned it on, my dog got scared and ran and hid from Snuggle Puppy. I turned the heartbeat off and left the heat pack in, and he seemed fine with it then and liked snuggling with it. Once he warmed up to it, I turned the heartbeat back on to see how he would react, and he was still fine with it, and continued to snuggle up to it. The next time couple of times my hubby and I left the house, I put the Snuggle Puppy in our dog’s usual spot, but it didn’t seem to do anything in terms of soothing his anxiety as he was still just as anxious and fussy upon our return (I tried leaving it both with and without the heartbeat on, and it didn’t make any difference). Overall, he likes it well enough. As a matter of fact, right now he’s resting his head on Snuggle Puppy like an pillow and sleeping. The problem, though, aside from it not doing much to sooth his anxiety when we’re not home, is that he doesn’t care about the heartbeat being on and the heat pack being in it, which essentially just makes it a really expensive stuffed dog toy. Right now the heartbeat is off, the heat pack ran out of heat so I tossed it but haven’t replaced it, and he’s just as content as can be with it being a plain old stuffed toy that doesn’t do anything. Keep in mind, it might work just great for other dogs to sooth their anxiety, but you could also just wind up with just an expensive stuffed animal. At least he likes it!
