This item only arrived yesterday, but within 60 seconds of giving it to my puppies, it was already serving its purpose.We have two 8 week-old Corgi puppies that we just started crate training 3 days ago. I anticipated they might have a hard time/separation anxiety, so I wanted to have this on hand. Now, my boys are picking up on things & learning really fast, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re still just babies who want to be loved and snuggled.While they would eventually settle on their own in about 15-20 minutes, they would cry when first going in. After I put this soothing toy in (with the heartbeat device on, a heat pack & the lavender pouch) they settled in about a minute. Each time they’ve gone back in the crate (3 or 4 times since last night) they’ve settled right in with their soothing toy.THE ONLY CON:My only concern is that the inner pouch is secured with velcro. I, for one, have very curious boys, so part of me does worry they might try to rip it open/bite through the fabric. It is important to know that LAVENDER, WHEN CONSUMED, IS TOXIC TO DOGS AND CATS. For the time being, I’ll leave the pouch in there, but if they continue trying to “investigate,” I’ll take the scent pouch out and discard of it. This is just something to be aware of should you decide to get this for your pet(s).(Fun facts about the Corgi’s for my fellow pet-lovers)-Our merle, the mostly white one, is named Goose. He is super snuggly and very attached to mom! He is also the instigator of trouble during playtime.-Our mostly black little guy is Indiana Jones, but we call him Indy. He is Mr. Independent and loves to explore and have his own space. When it comes to bedtime, though, he becomes very snuggly with his dad.

Our puppy chews on the velcro strip that holds the heartbeat in the toy. We are afraid he will get to the heartbeat, chew it and get hurt or worse so we took it out so he only plays with the plush toy.

This is an absolutely fantastic product for very young puppies and kittens, its a must have really. I foster kittens frequently and this is just perfect for difficult transitions and anxious/sad babies. When I ordered this, I was actually between fosters so the only pet on hand to test this was my own cat, who is now more than a year old and decidedly not a baby anymore. When I gave it to her with the “heartbeat” turned on and the warming pack inserted, she was a bit dubious at first. Than she laid her head on top of it and a few moments later had her whole body wrapped around it, sleeping comfortable and purring every time she woke up. I am not sure I am allowed to use this with the fosters, its apparently hers now.The features are really great and well designed. There is an internal battery pack that produces a very realistic heartbeat, that can be switched on or off. There are heating packs that go inside the pillow, two are included with the pillow, so you will need to buy more. Thankfully they are just those heating pads sold as handwarmers at the drug store, easy to acquire and very inexpensive. There is also an “aromatherapy” pack that includes a bunch of calming herbs. All of this is stuffed inside an internal pocket in the pillow and secured with Velcro. The pillow itself is super soft and well designed, my cat has been busy kneading it for ages now.Honestly this thing is a total win. If even my non-kitten cat is in love with it, any young puppy or kitten would love to have it.
