- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014Color: GoldenSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2024Color: BiscuitSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis 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!

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!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2025Color: BiscuitSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseOur boxers love the snuggle puppy. Perfect size. Great quality. Lots of color options to look like your dog. Love the heartbeat & the warming patches. Great product for anxious pups especially when leaving them alone. Our dogs sleep with theirs every night. They have a great puppy kit that is perfect for all puppies just arriving at their new home. Overall an amazing product. 10 out of 10 recommend the snuggle puppy
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025Color: Brown and whiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI bought this before we brought home our 8 week old puppy home, so I had it when he arrived and glad I did. First night home he slept just fine no crying or whining with this Heart Beat Stuffed Toy in his crate.. He still has it in his crate for naps and bedtime at 5 months old. I would still use the heartbeat even tho do not think he needs it but the heart stopped working. I thought even about donating it to our shelters second hand store but becauses the heartbeat stopped working I won't , he can keep it for just another stuffed toy. I would of given 5 stars if the heart part kept working.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025Color: Brown and whiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis stuffed animal with a heartbeat feature is an incredible tool for calming my dog, especially during stressful situations like thunderstorms or when we're away. The heartbeat sound is soft and soothing, mimicking the comforting rhythm of a human presence, which really helps to relax my dog. The stuffed animal itself is soft, cuddly, and well-made, with no small parts that could be chewed off or swallowed. It’s the perfect size for snuggling and provides an extra sense of security for my pet. My dog seems to gravitate towards it when he's feeling anxious, and it definitely helps him settle down faster. The heartbeat function is easy to activate, and the battery life lasts longer than I expected, making it a convenient tool for calming your dog without constant maintenance. Overall, this is a fantastic option for anxious dogs and a great way to provide comfort when you can't always be around. Highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!
Color: BiscuitSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseAMAZING! We bought this to help settle our new 8 week old puppy and assist with her crate training. Wow! It’s worked brilliantly, she loves it and I totally think it has been instrumental in settling her to sleep. My only gripe is the Velcro is coming away slightly at the pocket where the heart goes, but don’t let that put you off.

Color: GoldenSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseWell, I guess I can't complain. Instead of crying, he is humping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic puppy!
Color: Brown and whiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseMy 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!
Amber BritsMagic puppy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funciona muy bien!
Color: BrownSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseCumple 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

5.0 out of 5 stars The best friend of our dog
Color: BiscuitSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseMy 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
