The heartbeat plush that turns anxiety into peaceful sleep

Giving them their own space doesn't mean leaving them alone. Calming Buddy is the invisible bridge between their independence and your peace of mind.

Just by feeling its heartbeat, your puppy knows they're not alone. If they miss their mother, the warmth of the stuffed animal comforts them.

If something scares them, they'll find calm before you have to get up.

Customer photo review of Heartbeat Insert

It was great to get the heartbeat insert but since my pup went about 3 weeks without it she didn't like it. She was so cute. After I removed the heart she picked up the snuggle pup and dragged it around the room. She absolutely loves it. She snuggles with it, carries it around and plays tug and fetch. It's about the same size as she is. She takes it outside to snuggle with it on the deck. A big 🏆

Tillie Jo LOVES her calming buddy. In this picture, she brought her calming buddy down from her bad and laid next to it for her nap. Best Gift ever!

I am genuinely and pleasantly surprised how much my girls love this puppy! My girls are rescues with a lot of trauma and they are scared of literally everything. Olive is scared of toys (and her own farts lol). Rosie likes some toys, but I thought they might both be scared of this because of the heartbeat, but wanted to try it hoping it would do the opposite... AND IT DID! I introduced it without the heartbeat first for a couple days and then turned it on. They cuddle with it all day and then at night we bring it to bed. Today there was a thunderstorm and they both laid by it. They absolutely love this and I'm hoping it will help them when I have to travel (I haven't left them yet because we are still working on their behavior and comfort). Bottom line is I am so happy I got this calming buddy.

Love it! Really works! Helped with our long car ride for vacation. Kept our dog calm and quiet for the ride and helped him relax in a new home for the week!

Cooper loves it. The only sad thing is the sache with the lavender in it arrived open! When I took it out of the box, the lavender got everywhere. That being said, it is helping Cooper adjust to being without his siblings.

This sweet cow is Bruce’s new best friend. He immediately loved it, cuddled up, found the heart beat & took a nice long nap! Really high quality materials, too

Customer photo review of Calming Cow

Ava has anxiety and is on medication for it. She is anxious around men and has shown some improvement around my husband. She has been sleepsling soundly through the night. The real test will be when she will have to spend the night in a pet resort next week.

We have a seven month old Airedale terrier. The calming buddy was the first toy that we gave her when we picked her up from the breeder and it has been her very favorite ever since! I have never seen a dog react so positively to a toy, that does not even have a squeaker. The heartbeat sound and lavender packet are such nice additions, but my puppy loves this toy without even using either of those. Very well-made would buy again in a heartbeat.

Hudson Boy loves it, brings him comfort and on occasion he gives it a shake and a hump 😂. We had a problem with the heart itself not working however it was taken care of promptly, well appreciated. I recommend the Calming Buddy, wish I would have known about it when my previous dog had cancer, would have been a comfort to him when we were away. Thank You

Heartbeat Insert

I ordered it for my grandson to keep him from being scared at night and he loves it. I don’t have a picture because I mailed it to him. He lives in another state, but he really loves it and he sleeps much better. Thank you.

Little Calming Buddy

Our new puppy, Riley, loves her calming Buddy. It's the only thing, along with a little puppy blanket that is in her crate. We are going through teething/chewing stage and doesn't chew on Buddy!! Riley has only tried one time to bring Buddy out of her crate to play with and I won 't allow it. She seem to understand because she hasn't tried since. When it is bedtime now she walks in her crate and I turn Buddy's heart on and she lays with her chin on it. I put her to bed at 8pm and she wakes at 6:30am the next morning! I don't have a picture simply because I don't know how to get it to you.

My puppy seems to like the rhythmic beating of the "heart" but it sounds more like a little bongo drum in there. He loves to chew on the "toy", which I try to limit. It stays in his kennel where he sleeps at night. Overall, very satisfied with it.

Little Calming Buddy

My Teddy really loves the octopus. He can’t decide which leg he wants to Grab.

Buddy's Squeaky Toy

This has been great for crate training a new puppy. At first she cried constantly but within a week she is calm and relaxed in her crate. She cuddles with this and falls right to sleep now!

My puppies love sleeping with their buddies :)

Little Calming Buddy

My puppy is in love with her Calming Buddy. She drags it everywhere she walks and anytime she steps into her bed it goes with her. She also LOVES to wrestle with it. I am so happy I purchased it for her!!!

Little Calming Buddy

A definite plus for a young pup. My puppy goes to his crate and brings the Calming Buddy to me. He adores it and loves sleeping with it.

It didn't work for my puppy.

Our fur baby loved it. It really calmed him down.

Can't verify it's calming ability as we pick our new pup up in 2 weeks. It appears to be high quality and everything was included as advertised.

Calming Cow | New Puppy Kit

Not the item advertised or marketed. Received just 1 item the stuffed toy and it is made of low quality material. We waited for 9 days to receive the item and we are so disappointed with the experience. We demand for a refund. I hope this will mot happen yo anybody. It us already pricey and we did not receive as what it should be.

Piper is 2 months old and loves her calming buddy. She consistently sleeps with it in her crate and also loves to sleep on it for a little nap outside her crate. She brings it along to each room in our home!

Our Heidi really loves her buddy. She sleeps with it every night.

My puppy was upset when put to bed . He does seem to enjoy the dog and he calms down fairly quickly at night.
