Snuggle Puppy Junior, Heartbeat Puppy Toy for Small Breeds, Smaller Plush Dog Toy with Real-Feel Pulse, Designed for Crate Use and Early Routines - Biscuit

I was so skeptical before buying this product because my puppy didn’t care for stuffed animals and had extreme separation anxiety and would scream all night. The price point is a bit high but I understand now. She is very tiny and I felt as if the pulse was way too loud and strong for her, but it seems perfect. It took away all her screaming during the night and she would snuggle right next to it and fall asleep. She prefers it over all her other stuffed animals that I tried giving her. It’s probably because of the thickness of it and how sturdy it is, yet soft like her mom or siblings. I wish there was a level of how intense the pulse is but she seems to have no problem with it and is able to fall asleep despite it being day time or night. I love this product so much and I will encourage new pup owners to forget buying other stuffed animals… because they don’t work. This is what puppies need to feel safe and mimic a real life companion so they don’t feel alone. However I’m not sure if it turns off when no motion is activated. I am worried about battery draining because I leave it on for her all night.

This thing is amazing. I activated the heart and our puppy that is almost 3 months old and 8 pound loves it! Snuggled right up to it.

I really believe this works! Puppy cried the first night he came home, maybe the second night, but I think by the 3rd night he was quiet and sleeping in his crate. Highly recommend!

OK, picture it. Circa 2023. It's a rainy day in Charlotte and you're at the airport waiting for your puppy to arrive from the breeder. Yout stomach is in knots as you cannot wait to kiss and snuggle your new family member....seconds feel like hours and you begin to sweat with anticipation Then it happens. The sliding doors open to reveal the tiniest, cutest, goodest boy that you have ever laid eyes on. Your heart soars and you cannot help but grin ear to ear. You made it, you're a pup parent. As you carefully place your precious cargo in the car you notice that he looks sad. He is confused, he misses his litter mates. In a moment that was supposed to be beautiful, you feel this crushing heartbreak for the little guy. So what can you do? Snuggle puppy. Yes...the snuggliest toy pup with a working heartbeat (has an 8 hour timer, or can be shut off manually by pressing down for a couple seconds) and warming pads to help your new furry friend feel some comfort. They hit it off instantly. My puppy doesn't go anywhere without clumsily dragging his snuggle pup with him. We all know crate training can be a nightmare, so why make it harder than it has to be? Get you a snuggle puppy good sis/bro. Puppies are used to piling on top of their litter mates during sleepy time and this has been a fabulous substitute. The heartbeat can be a bit overwhelming at first but they quickly get used to it and it's smooth sailing. Will it resolve all your issues with new puppy anxiety and crate training? No. Will it stop your puppy from getting the blues while they adjust to their new home? Also no. But will it assist in their self soothing and overall comfortability? Heck yes. Get one. Today. AND these toys take a good beating. My puppy chews and tosses this thing around constantly and it has held up very well. No thanks needed. I'm just your average, everyday puppy mama sharing the good word of snuggle puppy.

​If you own an Australian Shepherd, you know they are brilliant, high-energy, and possess a set of razor-sharp puppy teeth that can destroy standard toys in minutes. I bought the Snuggle Puppy Junior (Biscuit) for my female Aussie pup, and it has officially become her absolute favorite toy in the world. ​Aussies are Velcro dogs who need a lot of comfort when they are away from you. This toy completely cured her crate anxiety. She cuddles with it every single night, but because she’s an Aussie, she also likes to play rough with it. ​I am incredibly impressed by its resistance and durability. She has carried Biscuit around by the ears, aggressively chewed on it during her teething phases, and pounced on it repeatedly. Despite the rough housing: ​The reinforced seams have held up beautifully against her herding-breed energy—no ripped fabric or stray stuffing yet! ​It’s soft enough to be her favorite security blanket, but tough enough to handle Aussie puppy antics. If it can survive a hyper-smart, teething Australian Shepherd, it can survive anything. Worth every penny!

We just brought home our pup and the first night was ROUGH for everyone. We knew going into this that the first few days or even weeks can be difficult as the puppy gets used to being alone at times during the day and at night, but I was concerned that it was going beyond normal separation anxiety and turning into full on distress. The snuggle puppy has made such a difference in his comfort level both during sleep and when he is awake. We got the junior size since our pup is small (10 ish weeks) and it’s the perfect size. We didn’t end up using the heating pad but the heartbeat is a nice feature and seems to help. I also like that it can be set to continuous or auto shut off as I don’t want it running all night. The snuggle puppy seems well built; it’s soft and holds up well to puppy chewing. I carry it around with me whenever I’m holding our puppy to reinforce its intended purpose of comfort for him. I’m sure at some point we will need to upgrade to the larger size but I’m sooooo happy this thing worked out. If you’re on the fence I’d say give it a go.

Cute puppy, my puppy didn’t care for it didn’t help with what is advertised

I figured this would be just another stuffed toy. Our Westie puppy doesn't pay much attention to stuffed toys, but he likes this one in his crate. We have not used the heating feature, but we keep the heartbeat on all the time, and he rests with it near him or even rests his head on it. We originally ordered the larger size, not realizing there is a small dog size, so we returned the big one and ordered the smaller one, and it's perfect for him. We're so glad we got it because he seems happier in his crate.

Es muy suave y resistente al mismo tiempo. Al principio le tenía pavor porque pensaba que estaba vivo pero poco a poco lo fue aceptando. Nos tomó varias semanas. Ahora sí lo usamos en el coche y cuando se queda solita o se agita.

Bought this in preparation for my then 8 week old puppy. I was dreading the nights and thought this was worth a try. My minatute schnauzer is placid. The first night she lay her head on the puppy and slept through. Sleeps with it every night and is now 13 weeks old. I leave it on all night. When I put her into her crate tonight I noticed the batteries needed to be replaced. I left her in and when I returned she said was sitting up. She snuggled into her puppy as soon as she got him back. She snuggles into it during the day but I don't turn it on. I got 1 for my mother too, she got a similar, placid, minatute schnauzer, from a different litter and her pup loves it too. That pup is 10 weeks old and sleeps through the night.

The Original Snuggle Puppy has been an amazing comfort toy for our dog. The heartbeat feature is incredibly soothing and really helps reduce anxiety, especially during crate time and at night. It mimics the feeling of being close to littermates, which makes a big difference for young or nervous dogs. The toy is soft, well made, and the size is perfect for small breeds. The heartbeat unit is easy to insert and remove, and the overall design feels durable enough for daily use. Our puppy bonded with it quickly and sleeps much more calmly now. Overall, this is a fantastic product for easing transitions, reducing stress, and helping puppies feel secure. Highly recommend for new puppy owners or dogs that need extra comfort.

Not useful at all

So soft and snuggly. My kids love it and I hope our new puppy will too!
