Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We received a snuggle puppy right after our 8 week old labradoodle puppy arrived. While his first two nights were a little rough with whining, the first night with snuggle puppy he went to sleep in his crate with his mouth on her and slept all night. Five months later he wouldn't consider going to bed without his "puppy". We know he is ready to go to bed when he goes and gets her. In the morning the first thing he does is go back into his bed and get his "puppy" to bring downstairs. In times of stress (thunderstorms being alone, when his tummy was upset) he will go and get the puppy and just lie with her under his chin. Our snuggle puppy has been thrown in the wash weekly (we always redo the velcro after removing the heart), and washes up beautifully. Our big puppy is not terribly hard on his stuffed toys but we have not noticed any damage. As for the battery cost; The batteries do need to be replaced every three days if the puppy is left on most of the time. We turned it off during the day and got an extra day or two out each set. We usually would wait a night or two before replacing the batteries so that he would get used to there not being a continuous heartbeat. We purchased a lot of 50 batteries (ebay or amazon) for about $13. this lasted a little over 4 months. Now we just turn it on if he is in need of extra comfort, a new bed or when we travelled.
