| Any one have a snuggle puppie? not a real puppy who loves to snuggle but a dog doll with a heartbeat and warmer pack. looking for a review. a friend just got a 7 month old s**tzu yorkie rescue who is having the worst time sleeping at night. I think she is used to always be with her sister who is still with the rescue. I was thinking of getting her a snuggle puppie for christmas but would like to see if anyone has had any luck using it since it is a bit pricey. If you dont know what im talking about heres a link. Snuggle Puppies - Official Home of Snuggle Pet Products Let me know if you think this will work. I was also considering getting one of these instead. Its just the warming effect but its much much smaller but cheaper too. It did comfort lilo during the cold nights but i dont know if it'll mean much to a 6 pound shorkie. And lilo was never much of a crier. lol petco.com - Petstages Puppy Cuddle Pal customer reviews - product reviews - read top consumer ratings Let me know what you think as i have to order it soon to get here for christmas!

| I bought one for Macy when we brought her home. I would warm the insert up at night and turn on the heartbeat and she curled up and fell asleep. I had to put it up when she got older because she was humping it non stop. I would use it again if I ever get another puppy.

| I also bought one when I brought Momo home. She would sleep with it (too cute). She still plays with it now, but she doesn't sleep with it anymore. I'd get one again if I had a new puppy at home.

| I never used it for a puppy but after Callie had surgery I used one just to hold the heat pack so she could snuggle up to it and she loved it a lot. With the heart beat it may work great for your friends rescue pup I think I would definitely try it.

| I have always been the "snuggle puppy" for my pups. Warmth may be something the dog needs at this point. Are they giving the pup lots of exercise during the day so it is tired enough at night? Not sure how long the heat pack would stay warm on the snuggle pup. If heat is something that will comfort the pup it would need it to last all night if they want the pup to sleep all night. How are you doing? Have seen little Lilo's sweet face back on facebook. It brings me to tears. So much sweetness in one little soul. |

| Oh, you're Lilo's Mommy?! I follow her on FB too...and YouTube. Sweet little Lilo will always be my favorite skateboarding Yorkie She lived a wonderful life thanks to you. Most humans don't have a chance to enjoy life as much as she did. Wishing you & your family a peaceful holiday season. I hope your friend likes the Snuggle Puppy. I got the pink one for Momo & I think they're adorable!

| I have never used the snuggle puppy, but it looks really neat! I have used something by petstages. It isn't the warming effect product. Rather it is a heart that beats like a heart beat. I used it for a dog I am fostering that had severe separation anxiety, and he loves his. |
