Smart Pet Love Snuggle Puppy Behavioral Aid Dog Toy

We bought this for our 9 week old whippet puppy as soon as she was separated from her litter. It has certainly made a difference in her comfort level. There was minimal crying in her crate the first few nights. It's been 9 days, and we still turn it on for her every time we put her in the crate. About 6 days after we brought her home, she began crying in her crate for extended periods at night despite the heartbeat toy, and we simply relocated her crate next to our bed. The combination of this heartbeat sound and keeping the crate next to our bed has worked extremely well. Highly recommend this toy for tiny pups!

Recently brought an 9 week old shih tzu puppy into our home and thought this would be a great addition to comfort him at night as we began crate training him. I've heard putting a clock in there would help to mimic a heartbeat, but this seemed like a step up from that. Unfortunately, the heartbeat is quite loud and caused more confusion than anything. He never really warmed up to it and would keep his distance from this. The construction and concept is great, but the heartbeat needs to be reduced to be more realistic. This might work for others, but in my case I wouldn't recommend.

I received this Smart Pet Love from my breeder when I picked up my puppy at 8 weeks. He is 7 months old now and still brings it with him everywhere. Up and down the stairs to bed and to the couch on road trips, etc. I had to stitch it shut as he was starting to take out the stuffing but it has held up with everyday use for over 7 months. Just a great product. I used the heartbeat for the first month without the heater.

I was sooo excited to buy this because although our puppy Olly is now about 6 months old, he was too big for this toy. He destroyed the toy in 15 minutes. I knew what I was getting myself into buying this so I'm not upset but I just really wanted to see if it would have MAYBE helped him when he stays home alone. The toy was overall great when I held it, the beating heart is really amazing and the warmth from the heating pack was a great add-on. I would definitely buy this toy again but only when our puppy is 9 weeks, not 6 months. :)

I bought this for my doberman puppy when she first came home. She is now one year old and this toy is her favorite still. She had become very attached to this toy that I now call her "binkey". She coddles and sucks on the toy every night. It has truly become her security blanket. With all the wear and tear over the past year it still is in great shape. I throw it in the washer and dryer and it comes out smelling sweet like new.

We bought this for our brand new 13 week old havanese puppy. She had a hard time crate training at night. I would say she tolerated it more than loved it, I'm not sure it really made any difference. However I could see some dogs taking to it immediately and it being very beneficial, I think it just depends on your pups temperament. As she grew we had to take it away because she started playing with it as a toy.

I was actually worried that this might not work, but hey it did! It's really good for a puppy especially to those who just got out from their litter. Mine is 8 weeks old and whining everytime I'm not holding her. But when I put this toy beside her, she will just cry a little but will remain relax all through out. Amazing! I can actually do my work without watching over her. Recommended for puppies!

Super!!! Bought one for my new puppy I got two days ago. He immediately got attached to it. It is easy to operate, the quality of the product is superb. I keep the heart beating pretty much the entire day and only turn it off when he plays. I am quite impressed. Everyone really needs to get one of these if you get a new pup. I highly recommend it.

This toy fell apart within a week of purchase. By fall apart, I mean the seams came open and the stuffing was falling out. This toy, in my opinion, is not worth the price. It will not withstand normal puppy chewing, play and wear and tear (and I have a toy breed who is not a strong chewer). Save your money and buy a Kong toy instead.

This dog is just perfect for my 3 month old Shihtese puppy. It keeps her warm (I got 12 heated refill packs) and she loves to snuggle with it. It came out like new after washing & drying. About the 5th or 6th day of use though, the heart slowed way down, then stopped. I guess they need to sell refill hearts??
