Snuggle Puppy Heartbeat Dog Toy for Puppies, Real-Feel Heartbeat, Calming Sleep Aid and Crate Training Comfort Toy with Heat Pack, Brown & White Beagle

This plushie was really great for our new puppy. From the first day we got him, he has slept through the nights and taken great naps. It stays warm for a very long time and the heartbeat is realistic. Easy to turn on and off. Very lightweight and good for puppies or any type of dog. Even through teething, it is still intact and he has not made any rips or holes. Would recommend for any dog or cat owner, as my cat even tried sleeping with it!

This is an absolute MUST to help your new puppy settle when sleeping! Benny loves his Snuggle Puppy and it is the perfect size and thickness. The heartbeat matches his pup mates and he is easily crated next to me at night. Highly recommended on all Facebook sites and I’m so glad we listened! We brought it to the breeder when we met our pup so it smelled like his siblings when we brought him home. He’s slept through the night since his second night at 10 weeks old!

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.

I'm giving this four stars because I think people disbelieve a five star rating. I almost did not order this because of someone reviews. When I read them, which is often, I start at the one star reviews and go up from there. The one stars tell me where the biggest problems are. What feature or failure it was that made them angry enough to give just one star. For this product, there were a lot of the same complaints. Therefore, I felt that these were accurate. Two, three, and four stars, I judged as having good information, and the reviewers found something redeeming about the product. Five stars tended to make me skeptical. Maybe it was a genuine review, or maybe the person was in a rush, but wanted to give a favorable review. Back to my purchase. I carefully considered what was said. There was enough said about the products disappointments that I was not confident in my purchase. I've made returns before, I could make another one if necessary. When it arrived, I carefully inspected it. I looked for enclosed seams, frayed material, ineffective velcro, the placement for the beating heart, and how much play it could withstand. The only complaint I had was that there was just one of the warming packs. How could a person learn about that feature with just one test? I set the heart to come on whenever it sensed movement. I kept expecting it to stop, but it has not. Unlike another reviewer, I thought the sound resembled the sound of a beating heart. It was subtle, but loud enough to be heard or felt when nearby. My little dog doesn't play much, but the velcro closure has held tight. It even helps me calm down when I'm too stressed. The rhythm is the right speed for calm. I'm no longer worried that it will fall apart. I'm relieved to know that I can purchase a new heart when I wear this one out, and that the warming packs are available too. I'm happy with this comfort toy, and glad that I made the purchase.

This product deserves more than 5 stars!!!! We just got Figo (our 45 days old Scottish Terrier) and he is sleeping the whole night with his puppy. Even downtime.on his playpen has been successful!! He didnt need the warm pads but the heartbeat is a must ❤️🐾🥰.I cant recommend this product enough, it is money well spent. Quality, price and peace of mind 🙌❤️🐾🥰

After dealing with a whining puppy at night for 3 weeks, finally bit the bullet and bought this. I absolutely wish I would have had it prior to puppy pick up. I’m not kidding when I say the first night, and every night after, he did not whine at all once having this in his crate. It provides the perfect comfort of missing sleeping with siblings, and soothing heart beat of what they hear when we hold them, that it made our nighttime routine 100x better. Would recommend for anyone with a puppy or having a hard time sleeping at night. It’s super soft and the perfect size. Heartbeat battery lasts a long time.

Wow! This item worked for our puppy. Our cockapoo pup had been home about a week. He was only sleeping about three hours at a time through the night. The first night I used the Snuggle Puppy he slept from 10 pm until 5pm....7 hrs!!!!. He seems to really like and feel comforted by the Snuggle Puppy and will put his head on it even if we have turned off the heartbeat. Three nights in a row of several hours of sleep at night. Whoo Hoo! We take the battery out during the day thinking to save the batteries because we are not concerned about him sleeping a long time during the day. But we will use the battery in it if we leave him for an extended time during the day. Out puppy does play with the stuffed toy at times but he is not mauling it. It seems sturdy enough as to not worry about a small puppy destroying it. The velcro that holds the battery pack is very strong so seems safe. This is something to try for sure.

I got this for my puppy when I took him home at 8 weeks, and he is now 5 months. I think it did help him for the early stages of his nighttime crate training, because when I'd look on the camera I saw him laying his head on top of it. When the snuggle puppy was in the wash, my puppy would cry more than usual unless he had a replacement stuffed animal. So while helpful, I'm not necessarily sure that the heartbeat in the toy is what he likes, or just stuffed animals in general. I'm glad to have gotten it, just in case, but I do have critiques. It's not very durable, and I've had to repair it a few times. He does really love his snuggle puppy, but I don't think he sees it any differently than his other soft toys - he wants to play with it and rip its head off too. It's kind of....not cute. It could be much cuter. The price is way too high for this thing. I will say, I've accidentally put it through the washing machine and dryer twice with the heart still inside the pouch, so the Velcro is really pretty strong lol. It was an ok purchase, and it's been cute to see him grow so much larger than it.

J'avais compris que cette peluche était fortement recommandée pour les chiots afin de réduire leur anxiété de séparation. A tester sur le moyen terme. En attendant, la peluche est très douce. Elle est fournie avec le cœur (pile incluse) qui reproduit le battement de cœur et un heat pack initial pour la chaleur. Bonne qualité de la peluche et l'intérieur me paraît sûr mais protéger le chiot une fois pelotonné contre elle. Vraiment charmant!

Magnífico muñeco. No me lo creía hasta que lo ví. Mi perro está loco con él. Es el único muñeco que no ha roto.

My puppy loves this - 5 nights in and he's settling in well and hasn't been crying at night.

A los perritos les gusta mucho .lo encuentran muy amigable.

The first night home is usually a chorus of whimpers, but with our latest puppy, the silence was almost absolute. All I could hear was a soft, rhythmic thump-thump-thump—a barely audible but palpably reassuring heartbeat that turned her crate from a lonely space into a safe haven ✨. I purchased the Snuggle Puppy Original Heartbeat Toy for a toy breed puppy transitioning to our home. Welcoming a new family member is so much easier when everyone sleeps well! 💤 I am firmly against the "cry it out" method; it elevates cortisol levels and creates intense stress and hopelessness. Instead, I believe in compassionate, fear-free training. By placing a small crate in our bedroom and using this puppy sleep aid, our puppy didn't cry or whine once. In fact, this was a much quicker route to a full night's sleep than "cry it out" could ever be 😴. I am pleased to say this puppy has since grown into an empathic, confident, and independent adult dog 🐕‍🦺. ✅ The Pros: • Faster results through comfort: Providing cuddles, familiar scents, and soothing sounds settles a puppy far more effectively than forced isolation. My puppy engaged with this toy immediately like a littermate, snuggling it in her pen for security 🧸. It was my pre-emptive strike against separation anxiety, and it worked! • Ideal for toy breeds: Being a toy breed, the Snuggle Puppy was actually bigger than she was initially! This seemed to provide even more comfort, as it felt like a large, warm sibling she could completely tuck herself against 🐶. • Stress reduction: The "real-feel" pulsing heartbeat mimics the sensation of sleeping in a pack, naturally lowering stress and preventing the panic of a new environment 💓. • Quality & build: The plush is incredibly soft, almost like a high-quality fleece. The secure, low-profile velcro compartment is well-hidden and, crucially, does not snag on bedding or blankets, which is a common issue with cheaper dog heartbeat toys. • Customisable Comfort: A herbal pouch could be placed in the heartbeat/heating pack compartment to further soothe the senses 🌿🌼🪻. • Easy Maintenance: Once you remove the internal components, the plush is fully machine washable—essential for any puppy product. ⚠️ The Critical "Heads-Up" (Important for some dogs!): • Know Your Puppy's Style: While my toy breed pup used this as a bed-mate 🐾, I had a previous puppy who ripped his Snuggle Puppy apart in minutes. If you have a "shredder," you must supervise them closely. It's a behavioural aid and a comfort item, not an indestructible chew toy 🚫. • Battery & Heat Pack Logistics: I used standard alkaline AAA batteries, and on the 8-hour setting, they lasted about two weeks. I'd highly recommend rechargeable AAA batteries for ongoing use. It comes with one disposable heat pack; for long-term use, consider a reusable pet heating pad. • Subtle Pulse: In a quiet bedroom, you can hear a faint rhythmic "thump" 💓. It is actually quite soothing for humans too, but worth noting if you are an incredibly light sleeper. ✨ Tip for Success To maximise the calming effect, rub the plush against your own skin or wrap it in a T-shirt you've worn 👕. Combining your scent with the heartbeat adds comforting pheromones to create a powerful sense of security that prevents distress before it starts. 🏆 Final Verdict The Snuggle Puppy Original Heartbeat Toy is an invaluable tool for any owner committed to positive, fear-free puppy raising in 2025. It bridges the gap between the mother dog and a new home perfectly. It is a worthwhile investment in your puppy’s emotional well-being and your own peace of mind!
