Title: Great bedtime snuggle buddy!
Review: This was originally a gift to my pup from a good friend when I picked up my pup (she was 4 months old.) The first stuffy was my pups favorite bedtime buddy to have in her crate. She always brought him out with her in the morning.My pup loves the stuffy with the “heartbeat” for about 3-4 months and then she covered him with her crate mat. I took out the “heart” and she’s happily slept with her head resting on her buddy ever since. My pup has a double coat and is hot all the time so I never used the heating “pads”. I’m sure they are great too.My little puposaurus Rex usually chews up and pulls all stuffing out of any and all toys but, this toy lasted 2 years! Was the bedtime buddy missing his ears and tail for at least a year? Yes, but still a great snuggle buddy for another year. Sadly, this year the snuggle buddy suffered an unrecoverable loss of stuffing and fuzziness. 😞Luckily I was able to order another buddy and the bedtime snuggles continue! I wish there was an option to just get the stuffy (I still have the original heart and warmers, didn’t need more) but that’s just a nit pick. This is a great product.The stuffing is the white fluffy kind, the pup is of solid construction and the “heartbeat” really does soothe puppies (I’ve used something similar with another pup - not as nice or fancy but, it works like a charm!) I recommend for new puppies spending nights alone without their siblings. All dogs that like to rest their heads on something soft when napping, and all puppies and dogs who are scared of loud noises.I put the snuggle buddy up and away from pupasaurus when she’s awake and playing to avoid catastrophic stuffing incidents. This is not a chew toy at all but it has stood up to some aggressive love and snuggling. If your pup has shown some restraint towards “special” toys, this is perfect for your pup! Not so much for dogs determined to lay waste to everything in site. My pup falls somewhere between. I recommend this for pups!

Title: SO FAR SO GOOD!!
Review: We are less than a week in and will update if needed but so far this has been a god send!! My 9 week old lab puppy absolutely loves it. She sleeps through the night and I think a huge factor is this toy.Good quality, realistic enough that i wish i had gotten a different color because I confuse it with the puppy lol! Perfect size and super cute. So far the battery has worked great for us although that was my biggest concern after reading other reviews.All in all, definitely worth the purchase.

Title: New puppy loves
Review: Our new Cavapoo puppy adored this from the very first time she met it. It seems to soothe her with the heartbeat vibration at night when sleeping in her crate. The heat packs are a nice touch but probably won't be using them much. Either we got really lucky with our puppy as she doesn't cry at night or the snuggle buddy really helps with the transition of being away from her litter she slept with. I would recommend for those with brand new puppies.

Title: It stopped working after a month
Review: Our pup loved it and it did work to keep her calm at night but a month in the heart stopped working. Other than that it was great while it lasted.I reached out to the company and they are replacing the heart.

Title: Best sleeping buddy!
Review: As a new doggie mom, one of my main concerns was crate training and sleep time. I was ready to put in long nights but also wanted to find some options in case my puppy had a rough time adjusting to her sleep routine. After going down the rabbit hole of products and their reviews, I found the Snuggle Puppy. I keep the toy inside her crate at all times so she relates it as part of her bed time. I used the heartbeat the first night but after that, I opted not to use it since she was adjusting well to her sleep schedule. She likes to move the Snuggle Puppy around inside her crate, it’s like a security blanket for her. Overall my puppy likes it and doesn’t chew on it. I know every doggie is different, so results may vary. I, though, am pleased with the product. The order came on time, it was well packaged, and the material of toy is soft and well made. I highly recommend.

Title: Perfect!
Review: We got this for our puppy after she came home to sleep with. She uses it as her pillow every night. Plays with it everyday. Somedays we think it's her in the crate. It's so cute, great quality and the perfect size!

Title: Helpful, but limited durability is a concern.
Review: The snuggle puppy is a helpful item to have around when bringing in a new puppy home. It did indeed help our puppy sleep better, and the beating heart sound seems to be a key element of that. The toy itself is fluffy, good size for a small puppy or even adults of small to medium breeds. The true issue I have with it the durability of the beating heart. We got 2 snuggle puppies 7 weeks ago when my new puppy arrived home. We keep one in his sleeping area and another one in this daytime playing area where he also takes naps. None of my snuggle puppies are on 24/7. The one in the bedroom is on for 8 hours every night. The one in the daytime area is on occasionally when needed, and we only use the 8-hour option, never 24/7. With that pattern of use, the heart that is used daily for 8 hours broke after 7 weeks. It beats like it were an old, weakened heart with arrhythmia. It skips many beats, has variable-duration large gaps of many seconds between beats, and the beats that actually happen no longer sound like a true, 2-phase heartbeat ("systolic beat + diastolic beat"), they sound like they are a single-phase heartbeat that is no longer convincing to pass as true heartbeat, and they developed a metallic "ting" tone as well. The other heart that is used occasionally is still rhythmic and skips beats only infrequently, but already shows slight change in tone and feel of the beat. I understand that a device that is frequently used has to get worn out at some point, but I do think that 7 weeks is too little and can't 4-star or 5-star this item because of that. As I write this review, I'm placing an order for 2 replacement hearts. While I think it's great that there are replacement hearts available for sale, their price is too steep for something that lasts a few weeks overall.

Review: This toy is well built and it is our dog's favourite toy and has been for months. He attempts to bring it with him outside and on drives. It has shown no sign of damage despite tugging and rough play. We bought it because of the heartbeat and warming capabilities. He did not respond to those features but other dogs might. We were looking to address anxiety and came across this toy, which is oriented toward puppies whereas we have a large breed adult dog. The toy should be OK for any size of dog. This company loves animals and it shows. The support team answered a question for us and then went above and beyond, researching information about anxiety in adult dogs, nothing to do with them or the toy, to help us acclimate our rescue into the family. I will buy from them again and want to see companies (and people) like them succeed!

Review: I purchased the snuggle puppy for my toy poodle. He is a little anxious, and always plays with it before going to sleep. This toy, was to replace his previous snuggle puppy that was looking a little worse the wear, after almost 2 and a half years use. I particularly like that it is very well made, and the Velcro fastening cannot be opened easily by my pet. ( it has quite a strong hold which makes it safe for keeping the heat pad and battery in the pouch within the toy). The Snuggle puppy also washes up well in the washing machine. Slightly on the pricey side, but well worth it for a cuddly toy that is long lasting and calms your pets anxiety

Review: My puppy has some separation anxiety, so I got the snuggle puppy to enlighten the feeling of not being alone. I was sceptic but it really darn works! She instantly played with it and got sleepy and rested against it. I already recommend it. Curious on how the night will go!

Review: Cumple su propósito perfecto! Desde el primer día lo tiene. Jugaron con el peluche sus papás y hermanitas y en casa ya lo tiene para dormir. Aún después de 5 días duerme con el, lo olfatea y lame de vez en cuando. Lo recomiendo. No lloró en la noches. Adjunto foto de su primera siesta en casa el día que la trajimos la metió debajo del sofá

Review: My puppy used the snuggle puppy from day one with us. She didn’t cry at all.Now after 6 months, this toy is her best friend. We can really notice how much she likes it and feel safe with it. Few weeks ago she destroyed a bit of the tongue and the tail, but otherwise is a very strong and nice toy 🙂 we are very happy
