- Realistic heartbeat pulse — mimics the rhythm of a companion dog
- Ultra-soft plush exterior — squeezable and comforting
- Helps dogs settle at night — reduces whining and restlessness
A resting heartbeat, not a buzz
The pulse is calibrated to the rhythm of a dog at rest. That is the difference between something a new puppy curls into and something that startles them awake.
Built for the first nights
The crying at 2am is a puppy that has never slept away from its littermates. This gives them something with a pulse to press against while they learn to.
Runs for hours
Battery operated and continuous (batteries not included), so it is still going at the point in the night when it matters. Ultra-soft plush over the top, squeezable and washable-friendly.
Why the rhythm is the whole product
A puppy's first week sets the pattern
Until the day you brought them home, your puppy had never slept alone. They slept in a heap, against ribs that rose and fell. Then that stops overnight, and what you get is whining, pacing and a fortnight of broken sleep for everyone.
A heartbeat is the one cue that actually stands in for it. Not a vibration and not a squeak — a slow, regular pulse under soft plush, which is close enough to a littermate that most puppies settle against it. The same thing works for rescue dogs in a new house and for dogs who struggle when you leave.
- Realistic heartbeat pulse at a resting rhythm
- Ultra-soft plush exterior, squeezable
- Battery operated — runs continuously for hours (batteries not included)
- For new puppies, rescue dogs and separation anxiety
Before you buy
Questions before you buy
How does a heartbeat toy actually help?
Puppies spend their first weeks sleeping against littermates — warmth and a heartbeat mean safety. This toy recreates that rhythmic pulse, which many puppies and anxious dogs find deeply settling. Owners most often use it for the first nights in a new home, and dogs that whine or pace when left alone.
Will it help with separation anxiety?
It's designed for exactly those moments — when you leave the house or at bedtime. It isn't a magic fix for severe separation anxiety, but many owners find their dog settles faster and stays calmer with the heartbeat running.
How long does the heartbeat run?
It's battery operated and runs continuously for hours — comfortably covering a night's sleep or an afternoon out.
Does it come with batteries?
No — batteries are not included. It takes 2 x AAA batteries, which you'll need to pop in before first use.
Is it a chew toy?
No — it's a soft plush comfort toy, not a chew toy. If your dog is a determined chewer, use it supervised and put it away during solo chew sessions.
Is it suitable for adult dogs?
Yes — it was designed with newly homed puppies in mind, but adult dogs who struggle with fireworks, storms, or being alone often take to it just as well.
