This is a snuggle puppy. It’s meant to be put with your puppy or dog to make them feel like their mother is next to them. My dog has thrown it around about 4 times but didn’t care that it had a heartbeat. It’s still in very good condition. Brand new it was $50. The heat packs that came with it I can no longer find but I will include instructions on how to use the “heartbeat.” It’s a very simple hold for 3-5 seconds and then whenever the snuggle puppy is moved or snuggled the heart beats for quite some time. Smoke free (obviously dog friendly home)
