Review: Better Than 'Cry It Out': A Compassionate, Science-Based Tool and a faster route to Peaceful Sleep - 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. The Context 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 had 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. Customisable Comfort & 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 heart-beat toys. Herb Pouch Option: The velcro space is also a great spot for a small pouch of dog-safe calming herbs like chamomile or lavender for extra relaxation. 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.
Review: Brilliant item! - Our puppy absolutely loves his Snuggle Puppy. He rests his head on it and goes off to sleep. It's in our puppy's bed all night and we don't hear a sound from him. It has definitely done what it says! The Snuggle Puppy looks cute, is a decent size, easy to use and seems durable. Great value for money in my opinion!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you insert a new heat pad every time you use it? How many in the pack?**
A: 1 heatpack lasts about 20 hours and you just shake it not microwave. My order cam with 2 and my puppy settled before I needed 2nd one. Will keep for travel etc if needed

**Q: Hello I have had Bonzo for my dog getting golden retriever puppy want different colour shows brown but says Dalamation. What colour is it**
A: Well I ordered a brown one and got a sandy coloured one so who knows what you will get?????

**Q: How do you make it stay on for 24 hours at a time?**
A: I think you have to hold the power button down for a certain time to make it stay on 24 hours. Its something like 3 or 5 seconds

**Q: Im due to pick up my pug in few weeks is it best to get now or wait to see if shes unsettled first??**
A: Hi, we got brown and black one few days after we brought our puppy in and I regret we should've got it earlier. Heat pad only worked for a day and heart beat kept on stopping after few mins. My Mini Schnauzer loves this toy and sleeps with him every day. Very good quality His razor sharp teeth couldn't even make a small hole on it! Hope this helps!
