Puppy Heartbeat Toy

The puppy heartbeat toy from eDog can nurture your puppy and help it adjust to its new environment while it settles into your home. The puppy toy is also a wonderful gift for an anxious dog since it provides companionship and helps it relax. The toy can help soothe your dog during stressful situations such as thunderstorms, fireworks, or even those lonely nights where your dog may feel overwhelmed. 

Dogs are family-orientated animals, and they are used to having other dogs or people around. Some dogs may need some form of comfort to help them get to sleep at night. Providing a puppy heartbeat toy during the first few weeks of a pup's life can reduce stress and give a sense of safety that it would otherwise get from his littermates. A heartbeat toy is a perfect item to keep your puppy warm and comfortable since it mimics their mother's heartbeat, which is very soothing for them. This can result in your puppy feeling loved and cared for while getting used to their new environment. 

Our puppy heartbeat toy comes with a disposable warmer pack. This pack can be used to provide additional warmth to your puppy’s bedding. The warmer pack will last for 24 hours. The toy is made of non-toxic materials, so you don’t have to worry if your puppy chews on it at night. 

During the first few months of a puppy's life, it is recommended that they sleep indoors as their bodies have not been used to the outside weather. Give your pet a warm and familiar companion while crate training to help them settle in and start thinking of the crate as their home. 

You can easily clean the toy after removing the heartbeat device. The realistic heartbeat mechanism uses two ‘AAA’ batteries, which will last up to 2 weeks, based on 24/7 usage. The heartbeat has two different modes. The first mode is a continuous mode that keeps it working all day long, and the other will automatically turn the heartbeat off after 8 hours. If you want to use the heartbeat toy only at night, it is best to use the 8 hours mode, even though some puppies prefer to have a companion throughout the day.

What is a heartbeat toy?

A puppy heartbeat toy provides comfort for a puppy or dog when people are not around. All animals require emotional support sometimes, and the heartbeat toy can provide that for your dog. These toys are ideal for placing next to your puppy during the night or during any nap time. 

Dogs are social animals, and they need the company of other animals to feel safe. A puppy will usually need extra time to get used to new surroundings. With the additional comfort provided by the heartbeat toy, this settling in time can be reduced. Most puppies are adopted out at around eight weeks old, which can be a significant change for a young puppy. Using a toy that provides warmth and a familiar heartbeat will help them settle during the night. 

The batteries provided with the heartbeat unit of the toy will last for about two weeks of continued use, and after that time, your puppy should have settled in nicely. The toy is designed to become a brilliant companion, which is why puppies adore it. The toy is available in different colours, so you can match one to your puppy or choose a different one to help tell them apart!

What are the benefits of giving your puppy a heartbeat toy?

Puppies may experience some anxiety when they are separated from their mothers. Their new home smells unfamiliar, and they cannot smell their mother or littermates anymore. Their new home simply does not feel like home for them! 

Almost all puppies will settle into a new home and routine within a few weeks, but those first several weeks can be pretty stressful. The puppy heartbeat toy can soothe anxiety and stress by providing a familiar feel and sound. On the first night you have your puppy at your home, it is best to use the heat warmer provided. This heat warmer will give your puppy the additional warmth they are used to from the litter. 

In addition to providing a heartbeat feel, the toys act as a companion. By snuggling and playing with the toy, your puppy will come to see it as a family member. You might notice that your puppy and the heartbeat toy have become inseparable at night. As your puppy plays with the heartbeat toy, it will stop whimpering and howling for its littermates and will no longer feel lonely.
