What is that thing called? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone know of a product that mimicks mom's heartbeat for puppies? I have been searching and I can't for the life of me, come up with a specific name of what it is called. I am hoping that maybe petsmart carries something like that, maybe that will help Dixie

The one that I know of is a "Snuggle Pup" and "Comfort Pup" You can find them both here -- I don't know if they're available at Petsmart or Petco.

I have seen that at Petsmart. Have you tried a wind up clock? they say that sounds the same. When we got Tucker I tried to get a wind up clock and could not get one anywhere!

I've heard of the Snuggle Pup thing too but never had one. When we got Stormie (our Aust. Shepherd), we wanted to put a wind-up clock in her kennel but couldn't find one either.... NOWHERE! Weird.... do they not make those anymore??

Thanks guys! I actually had errands to run and ran by petsmart. They don't carry them. But I did find a couple of things there. One is in the shape of a blanket and one is a dog, they have removable packets in them, that you warm up in the microwave. It's supposed to soothe young puppies. I was talking to my mom and she actually has a wind up clock (it's a small travel clock) and she absolutely hates it!! She can't stand the ticking sound. So she is going to bring it over tomorrow and we think that it will fit in a pouch that velcro's shut, that's on the blanket!!

So I will try that tomorrow night. I'm going to try just the blanket and the dog tonight, but will attempt it all together with the clock added tomorrow night!! I hope it works!!

While I was out today, Dixie started crying as soon as I walked out the door, but when I got home, just a few hours later, she was silent AND she didn't go the bathroom in her crate!! I don't know how long she cried for, but hopefully she is starting to get used to it!
