Snugglesafe heat pad or cuddly with heart beat....

What do you think would be best for a pup that has just moved to it's new home, to help it to settle on a cold winters night? A snugglesafe heat pad (chew proof and microwaveable but hard) to pop under the vet bed, or a cuddly dog with a heartbeat sound???????

Just asking out of interest...

Thanks Inca, do you think vet bed and a cuddly would be enough to keep it warm?

No it is helpful and I'd thought of that but then thought it was pretty chewable?

Play nice soft music for him when you're not in the room, honestly, it really works.

Thanks Phil and Nero!!!
Who said it was for me????!!!!!!! ; )

I've settled lots of pups in over the last few years....but never one when it's really cold and I don't want to lose out on zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs because the puppy isn't warm enough!!! (Or I wouldn't if this was about me...... ; ) )

Wrapped it up in an old towel tightly, then under the bedding, neither of mine tried to get at it but I only used it for a couple of weeks with both of them, and then they just snuggled into their teddies.

My brother used a microwavable snuggle teddy, for his puppy, ans she loved that. I always have the radio on quietly with new puppies if I leave them alone.
